About This Shade
Garnier Nutrisse shade 56, Rich Auburn (Sangria) adds red tones to a traditional medium brown result and provides 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Sangria is best for anyone with natural hair between dark blonde and darkest brown. If you are looking for a lighter shade that still reflects red, try 66 True Red (Pomegranate). We also have a range of vibrant red shades within our Nutrisse Ultra Color collection: R2 Medium Intense Auburn (Goji Berry) and R3 Light Intense Auburn (Red Hibiscus). Please note that Ultra Color is not designed for 100% gray coverage. If you want to stay in the medium brown range, explore shades 50 Medium Natural Brown (Truffle), 51 Medium Ash Brown (Cool Tea), 53 Medium Golden Brown (Chestnut), and 535 Medium Golden Mahogany (Chocolate Caramel).

For anyone who currently has color treated hair, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend Sangria for hair that has been previously colored shade 30 Darkest Brown (Sweet Cola) or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!

Perfectly natural

10 years ago
I'm a natural redhead and like all redheads as I get older the red in my hair fades. It's heartbreaking to hear people refer to me as blonde when I've been a redhead all my life & loved it! I have looked high & low for a hair color that would just refresh my color, put some red back in my hair and look completely natural. This shade is PERFECT. It does exactly that. I have recently had a hard time finding this color in stores & am praying it's not discontinued. I'll never forgive Garnier if it is lol. It's so hard to find a red that doesn't look purple or crayola red & this is a perfect natural copper. Even in the sun it looks real! If your a redhead who wants to refresh your red hair this is the perfect color to use!

So angry.

My hair was light blonde so I grabbed this color thinking it would easily make my hair red. Or at least somewhat red instead I got fricken black. Like straight up black with not even a shimmer of red. I’m literally crying I’m so upset right now. I usually use L’Oréal if I don’t go to the salon! Will never use this brand again. Will include picture of the box next to my result.

Was fantastic until the formula change! Horrible

8 months ago
Have used this color for many years with total satisfaction! Lately something changed aside from the model on the box! It is my understanding that the formula has changed much to my dismay! The new formula dyes my scalp and is not nearly as good as the old formula! I can’t use this product, so I must search for another product unless you resurrect the original formula! If it ain’t broken don’t fix it!

False advertisement - bad formula change

10 months ago
I have been coloring my hair with Garnier for years and this is the first time the color was so far off from what it should be. Change your formula back please!! This color turned out to be a reddish coppery color. Not one bit of purple in it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not the color advertised

11 months ago
Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews until after I bought this. I decided to give it a try anyway. I can live with the results, hence two stars, but this is not what I wanted at all. It is way more orange than I'd like as I don't look good in orange! Buyer beware! As for Garnier, fix this stupid color already or change your box! The color inside is not what is advertised! I am attaching pictures, but the camera doesn't really show what it really looks like. The first picture in the hair is at about 15 minutes. The rest are after.

No, I do not recommend this product.
