What do the numbers in the color code 618 for Vanilla mocha mean? Which color is cooler, 618 or 600? I want a light brown color without yellow and red tones.

Hi AK! 👋🏼😊
In the color codes, the numbers represent both the level and the tone.
In 618 (Vanilla Mocha), the 6 means the level is dark blonde/light brown, and the 1 stands for an ash/cool tone that helps to tone down warm elements like yellow and red.
In 600, it’s a more neutral brown without a clear cool or warm direction, which makes it softer but also a bit less effective if you want to avoid warm tones completely.
If you want a light brown shade that feels cool and neutral without yellow or red shifts, 618 is usually the better choice of the two – but the final result always depends a bit on your hair’s starting point 🥰
Have a nice day ☀️
