“Drawing inspiration from the enchanting, jewel tone colors found in nature, Midnight Berry captures the essence of elegance, allure, and a growing desire for glamour. Its deep, multidimensional hue consists of an inner core of darkness and a rebellious spirit, evoking a sense of mystery and sophistication.”
— Jane Boddy, Global Color Expert
The infusion of blue undertones and hints of ultraviolet give a new dimension to Midnight Berry that spotlights the second big color story of 2024; the rise of tinted blacks. Inspired by the mystery of the midnight sky, Midnight Berry portrays a sense of enchantment and mystique that captivates and inspires.
"Midnight Berry is a shade that embodies the spirit of the modern woman — confident, daring, and unapologetically unique," added Angelo Seminara, Goldwell Global Ambassador. "Hair color should be a reflection of one's individuality, and Midnight Berry offers endless possibilities for self-expression. It's a shade that truly stands out in a crowd."
