About This Shade
Nutrisse Ultra Crème shade 53 Medium Golden Brown (Chestnut) is a permanent crème hair dye with warm golden reflects that adds radiant dimension to medium brown color and delivers 100% gray coverage. This Garnier hair color creates a natural-looking chestnut brown color with a golden finish. Shade at a glance: depth = medium brown; undertone = golden/warm; finish = radiant brown color.
Is This Shade Right For Me?
Best results by starting color:
• Dark blonde to light brown: expect a warm, light-to-medium golden-brown result (great if you want a light brown hair dye look with golden tones).
• Medium brown: achieves a true medium golden brown chestnut color.
• Dark brown to darkest brown: adds subtle golden warmth and dimension (consider a dark brown hair dye if you want deeper coverage). Note: Not recommended on hair previously colored with 30 Darkest Brown (Sweet Cola) or darker. For customized guidance, use the Shade Selector Tool.
If you want a different result within shades of brown:
• Lighter, golden: 63 Light Golden Brown (Brown Sugar) — warm light brown color.
• Darker, golden: 43 Dark Golden Brown (Cocoa Bean) — rich, deeper golden brown.
• Neutral medium: 50 Medium Natural Brown (Truffle) — balanced, no added warmth.
• Cooler medium: 51 Medium Ash Brown (Cool Tea) — helps reduce warm/brassy tones.
• Warmer/redder medium: 56 Medium Reddish Brown (Sangria) — adds red warmth.
Summary: a warm, medium golden brown hair dye for natural dark blonde to darkest brown bases, designed for 100% gray coverage and a radiant chestnut brown color.

Q: Can I mix 2 different colors together? I wanted to mix 40 and 50. Would that be ok? Thanks

- A: Hi Debrose, Thanks for reaching out! Yes mixing hair dyes can create unique shades of color. However, it's generally recommended to stick to the same brand. We hope you find your suitable shade! Thanks for your interest in Garnier!a year agoHelpful?
Q: Why did you change the #50? I hate red! Natural brown should not have any red in it. Red is next to impossible yo get rid of. It will take forever to grow this shade out. Not soft and silky anymore either. When a color is perfect, what screw it up?
