Neutral. Buy tones that has N so hair won’t turn reddish or brassy.

I've used only Clairol's semi-permanent hair color on my hair since I turned 40 three decades ago & have found it to be quite gentle on my hair. I've been using the Advanced Gray Solution in the past year and I like how it makes my hair look and feel .Plus, its easy to apply and process--- no noticeable hair loss or damage. I always use a color sealer after processing to protect my haircoloring & make it shine. Also, I usually add a product called Gray Magic to the hair dye ,before I apply it . It seems to make the color last longer.

light golden chestnut, I think would look fabulous, I use this product faithfully for many years . It protect my hair as well as giving it its natural shine.

Yes, I would not dye my hair anymore, if you are just covering grays. Dyeing and lifting color damages hair a great deal. You are Blessed, because now you can just add pigment to those white hairs. I started going gray at 17. When your lose pigment in your hair, you also lose in your skin tone as well. So you should not try to stay your youthful hair color. You need to be lighter with your hair. With this product, since it will not lighten your hair that still has pigment, just coat it, you can now have highlights, without much effort! Since at this time it is your roots, maybe stick to a color with this product close to your shade. When the dyed hair has grown out long enough, then start experimenting with lighter shades for highlighted effects. This product should not disturb your scalp or skin. Be careful though because it will stain your skin and scalp for a day or so, if you don't wipe it off. It will also stain your sink, or counters. If that happens, just use household bleach, as leave a drop where it has stained and it will wipe off in a few minutes. Leave this product on your hair for a good two hours so it will last through many hair washings. After the two hours rinse your hair, until the water almost runs clear. Then shampoo a time or two, rinse until hair almost runs clear. Condition, again rinse until the water runs clear. If you keep rinsing until clear the results will not be the shade you may want, and be too light. Wrap in a dark towel, or a towel you don't care is stained a bit. Either natural dry or blow dry with whatever hair products. Make sure your hair is completely dry, so that this products sets, and won't rub off on your pillow case. If you are worried, sleep with an old towel on pillow to test that it has set properly. I hope this helps. It is a different way to live, but there will be no more damage to hair and scalp. =D

The bottle itself stands approx 6 inches tall. My hair is thinning from age and I can use one bottle three times.

The tones/colors on the Advanced formula are not the same as the Beautiful Collection. 3W Rich Walnut May be similar 

Yes it’s a little better for the hair and coverage of gray hair. I love it 

I would probably go with a medium brown w/ highlights I don’t think you can go wrong.  Whether you use a highlights or not..
