L'Oreal Color Chart: Majirel & Dia Light Toner

Browse every L'Oreal Professionnel shade in one place. This chart includes Majirel (permanent) and Dia Light / Dia Richesse (demi-permanent), with approximate color swatches for each shade.

Dia Light is an acidic demi-permanent toner (low pH): it deposits color, tones blondes, and delivers exceptional shine without lifting. It is L'Oreal's reference toner for toning blondes after lightening. Dia Richesse complements the line as an alkaline demi-permanent with more coverage.

L'Oreal uses a dot notation to separate level and reflect: 7.1 means level 7, ash reflect. The first number after the dot is the primary reflect, the second (if present) is secondary.

L'Oreal numbering system

L'Oreal Professionnel organizes shades as level.reflect:

  • Level (1-10): Color depth. 1 = black, 10 = lightest blonde.
  • Primary reflect: First digit after the dot. .0 = natural, .1 = ash, .2 = iridescent, .3 = gold, .4 = copper, .5 = mahogany, .6 = red.
  • Secondary reflect: Second digit (optional). .43 = copper gold, .11 = deep ash.

Majirel is the flagship permanent line: full gray coverage, lift and deposit. Dia Light is acidic demi-permanent (low pH): ideal for toning, refreshing, and adding shine. Dia Richesse is alkaline demi-permanent: more coverage than Dia Light, without lifting.

L'Oreal Color Chart

Everything you need to know

Majirel is permanent color: lifts, deposits, and covers 100% gray. Dia Light is acidic demi-permanent (low pH): deposits only, ideal for toning blondes and adding shine. Dia Richesse is alkaline demi-permanent: covers up to 70% gray without lifting, ideal for first grays.

The double digit .11 indicates a deep/intensified ash reflect. Unlike .1 (standard ash), .11 has a higher concentration of blue-green pigment. It is ideal for neutralizing warm undertones in previously lightened hair or achieving very pronounced ash results.

L'Oreal recommends: 6% (20vol) for 1-2 levels of lift and gray coverage, 9% (30vol) for 2-3 levels, 12% (40vol) for maximum lift with Majirel High Lift. For Dia Light, use the specific Dia activator (2.7%). For Dia Richesse, use Richesse activator 6vol or 9vol.

Very similar. Both follow the universal level/reflect system. The main difference is notation: L'Oreal uses dots (7.1), Wella uses slashes (7/1). Reflect codes are the same (.1 = ash, .3 = gold, .4 = copper). However, intensity and visual results vary due to differences in pigments and base.

Yes. Dia Light is an acidic demi-permanent toner from L'Oreal: it has a low pH, deposits color without lifting, and delivers exceptional shine. It is L'Oreal's most popular toner for toning blondes and neutralizing warm tones after lightening. Unlike Majirel, Dia Light does not open the cuticle and fades gradually.

To tone blondes with Dia Light: 1) Lighten to the appropriate level (minimum level 8 for ash tones). 2) Mix Dia Light with Dia activator 2.7% (1:1.5). 3) Apply to damp hair. 4) Process for 20 minutes. Popular shades: 10.12 (platinum ash iridescent), 9.11 (deep ash), 10.01 (platinum natural ash). Use our toner selector to find the ideal shade.
