Inspired by PANTONE.
As a hairdresser, intermixing is essential for you to improve client loyalty with customized unique colors that cannot be reproduced easily. It is also a way to play with your creativity while letting clients express themselves. And it empowers you to really be the Colorist you want to be, realizing your visions and creating a reputation for yourself.
In our IGORA ROYAL Mixes Collection:
- We joined forces with the PANTONE Color Institute – the global color expert – in a unique collaboration that celebrates our color expertise and reinforces our commitment to color perfection
- The PANTONE Color Institute consulted us on the next big trending color worlds for the upcoming year
- Our global color ambassadors Lesley Jennison and Arjan Bevers, as well as the creative collective X-presion and the color educator Josie Vilay then used this color world inspiration from PANTONE to create a total of 18 IGORA ROYAL Mixes matching harmoniously to the forecasted trends
- All of the IGORA ROYAL Mixes created by our colorists were brought to life in the 6 powerful looks featured in the ESSENTIAL LOOKS INSCAPE Collection
"Color is essential to our very existence. From the foods we eat, to the beauty of flora and fauna, color defines our world. The first thing you remember and the last thing you forget, color is an identifier."
Laurie Pressman, Vice President, PANTONE Color Institute
A palette of organic, earthbound vegetal colors inspired by nature expresses our desire for warming comfort and simple pleasures. Encouraging us to take a step back, to enjoy a slower and more organic way of life, these timeless colors highlight our desire to assess our priorities and values as we seek a healthier lifestyle.

Color mixing allows you to create an infinite number of colors, so your color services can be personalized to each and every individual client! We understand how important it is to create a mix that makes the client feel special, with a color that perfectly matches their skin tone and hair base.
Mixing can be really easy! All mixes from our new IGORA ROYAL Mixes Collection are achieved by only mixing 2 to 3 colors together, to create amazing powerful color results.

We partnered up with the PANTONE Color Institute who provided consultation on trending color worlds for the next year. Based on the inspiration provided, our colorists each created a new set of color mixes dedicated to one of the trending color worlds. Each mix was created by using core shades from our existing IGORA ROYAL portfolio.
No. The pH value of our IGORA ROYAL shades is within a range between 9.7-11.5. Within this range we can ensure 100% coverage, vibrant fashion tones and up to 5 levels of lift and a permanent longevity.
The IGORA ROYAL Pastelfier dilutes the pigment concentration and tone intensity, whilst while enhancing the powdery character of the shade by adding a soft cool tone direction. It provides up to 1 level of extra lift on virgin hair.
The recommended mixing ratios are:
- • Usage on bases 8-9: 1 part IGORA ROYAL Color Crème + up to 2 parts IGORA ROYAL Pastelfier
- • Usage on bases 5-7: 1 part IGORA ROYAL Color Crème + up to 4 parts IGORA ROYAL Pastelfier
- • Usage on bases 3-4: 1 part IGORA ROYAL Color Crème + up to 6 parts IGORA ROYAL Pastelfier
The IGORA ROYAL Booster intensifies every IGORA ROYAL core shade by boosting the vibrancy or intensity with a higher percentage of white.
Mixing recommendations:
- Your IGORA ROYAL Booster will make up to 50% of the IGORA ROYAL Color Crème in your formula
- Adding too much Booster will reduce coverage, so make sure you adjust the amount of color and the application method accordingly
Mix recommendations:
- On bases 8 and 9 – add up to 5% of the IGORA ROYAL Color Crème
- On bases 6 and 7 – add up to 15% of the IGORA ROYAL Color Crème
- On bases 1 to 5 – add up to 25% of the IGORA ROYAL Color Crème
