Week 18: The Double Rainbow - Mixing Luna Two Ways 🌈

Instead of opening up ten different packs of hair, you can shift your entire color story simply by swapping out your accent colors. It’s an easy way to get two totally different vibes out of the same favorite base.

🤍 Recipe 1: The Soft Pastel Look

This version keeps the palette light, airy, and frosted by surrounding the rainbow tones with clean white and soft lilac accents.

✶ Luna Ombré

✶ Frostbite (White)

✶ No Collabs (Lilac)

💜 Recipe 2: The Deep Velvet Look

This version drops the white and pulls the palette into a rich & playful territory by incorporating deep purple and cool teal tones!

✶ Luna Ombré

✶ No Collabs

✶ Grape

✶ Place To Be

The "Why": How Surrounding Colors Shift Your Base

Why does the exact same Luna Ombré look completely different in each mix? It comes down to Value Contrast.

In Recipe 1, the bright value of Frostbite softens the intensity of the rainbow, making the overall look feel like a subtle pastel gradient. In Recipe 2, replacing that white with deep cool tones (Grape and Place To Be) creates a dark frame. This contrast makes the lighter, brighter sections of the Luna rainbow pop with much more intensity.

Ways to Customize

✶ Add Some Sparkle: Use the tinsel versions of Frostbite or No Collabs in Recipe 1 to give that soft pastel look a metallic, icy finish.

✶ Tweak the Ratios: In Recipe 2, if you want less teal, drop your section of Place To Be down to a tiny sliver so the purple tones take the lead.

The Takeaway

You don't need dozens of different packs of hair to unlock brand-new colorways. Sometimes, all it takes is changing the accent colors surrounding a favorite base like Luna Ombré!
