Key Takeaway
BigBasket.pk does not stock Bremod. Here is what the shade numbers actually mean - depth, tone, developer volume - and how to read the real FramColor tubes we do carry.
Anyone hunting a Bremod hair color chart is really hunting one thing: what the numbers on the tube mean. First, the disclosure — BigBasket.pk does not stock Bremod hair colour, we will not quote a price for it, and we cannot deliver it. This guide is informational. But the shade-numbering system Bremod uses is an industry convention rather than a brand secret, so learning it once solves the problem permanently: depth before the dot, tone after, developer volume decides the lift. By the end of this page you will be able to read any professional tube — including the more than 20 real Framesi FramColor shades we do carry — instead of guessing from a screenshot.
Why the Bremod Hair Color Chart Is So Heavily Searched in Pakistan
Bremod is a professional-style tube-and-developer system with a large numbered shade card, and it circulates widely in Pakistani salon groups and beauty shops. That format is the reason for the search volume: a supermarket box tells you "Light Brown" and shows a model, but a professional range hands you 6.6, 7.3 or 5.35 and expects you to know. Most people never got taught, so they screenshot a chart and hope.
We are not reproducing Bremod's chart. We do not import it, we cannot verify a single tube against the carton it came in, and publishing an unverified chart with our name on it would be dishonest. The numbering logic below, though, is the same convention used across professional colour — and it is the part that actually transfers.
Depth Before the Dot: The Level
The first digit is depth (also called level), running 1 to 10: 1 is black, 2-3 darkest to dark brown, 4 medium brown, 5 light brown or chestnut, 6 dark blonde, 7 medium blonde, 8 light blonde, 9-10 very light to extra light blonde. This digit alone decides how light the result can be, and it is the number people ignore.
The Pakistani context makes it critical. Natural hair here is usually level 1 to 3. A permanent colour lifts roughly one to two levels — that is the physics of a tube plus a developer, not a marketing limit. So a level 2 head choosing a level 8 shade is not getting light blonde; it is getting orange. If you want to land at 6 or above from a level 2 base, the honest answer is a lift or bleach service first, then a toner. Nobody selling you a single tube can shortcut that in Karachi or anywhere else.
Tone After the Dot: The Second Half of the Number
The digits after the dot are the tone. The first is the primary tone; the second, if present, is a secondary at about half strength. The standard key: .0 natural, .1 ash, .2 violet or iridescent, .3 gold, .4 copper, .5 mahogany, .6 red, .7 brown or matte depending on the range.
Now the three numbers in every search box make sense. 6.6 = level 6 dark blonde, red primary. 7.3 = level 7 medium blonde, gold primary. 5.35 = level 5 light brown, gold primary, mahogany secondary — a warm chestnut. The depth tells you where you land; the tone tells you which direction it leans. That is the whole chart.
Developer Volumes: 10, 20, 30 and 40
The tube is only half of the system. The activator (developer) volume decides how much lift you actually get, and this is where most home colouring in Pakistan goes wrong:
- 10 vol — deposit only, no lift. For going darker, refreshing tone, or tone-on-tone work.
- 20 vol — about one to two levels of lift, and the standard choice for grey coverage. This is the workhorse.
- 30 vol — around two to three levels. More lift, more damage, less predictable on dark hair.
- 40 vol — high-lift blondes only, and honestly a bad idea at home on level 1-3 Pakistani hair. It does not politely skip past the warm pigment; it exposes it faster while stressing the hair.
The common mistake is assuming a higher volume rescues an unrealistic shade choice. It does not — it just lifts to orange more aggressively. Match the volume to the job: 20 vol for grey coverage and a level or two, 10 vol when you are only depositing.
Why Ash Fails on Unlifted Level 1-3 Hair
This is the single most common disappointment in Pakistani home colouring, and the chart explains it. Dark hair contains a large reserve of warm underlying pigment — red and orange. When a colour lifts, that warmth is exposed before any lightness appears: a level 2 lifting one level exposes red, two levels exposes red-orange. An ash tone (.1) has no lifting power of its own; it is a blue-based pigment designed to neutralise warmth that has already been exposed and lifted past.
So when someone applies a 7.1 ash blonde to virgin black hair and gets a muddy warm brown, the product did not fail — the sequence did. Ash needs a canvas that has been lifted to at least the level the ash is meant to sit at. On unlifted level 1-3 hair, the sequence is lift first, tone second, and there is no tube that combines the two honestly. If you want cool tones without bleaching, the realistic move is to stop fighting your base and go warm — gold, copper, chestnut — which is what looks natural against wheatish, tan, brown and deep skin tones anyway.
Decoding the Real FramColor Tubes We Stock
Here is the payoff. BigBasket.pk carries more than 20 Framesi FramColor shades across FramColor 2001, FramColor Glamour, Framcolor Eclectic Care and Framcolor Extra Charge — the same tube-plus-activator system, with real numbers you can read using everything above:
- Framesi - FramColor 2001 - 6/NP Dark Blonde — the 6 is depth (dark blonde); NP is Framesi's natural-plus tone family, their equivalent of a .0 with extra coverage. PKR 1,352.
- Framesi - FramColor 2001 - 7/NP Medium Blonde — same tone family, one level lighter. PKR 1,352.
- Framesi - FramColor Glamour - 5 Light Chestnut — level 5, natural chestnut. On level 1-3 hair this is the shade that actually behaves. PKR 1,352.
- Framesi - Framcolor Extra Charge - Gold 125ml — a pure tonal intensifier rather than a standalone shade; it pushes gold into a mix. PKR 1,400.
- Loreal Excellence Creme Hair Colour #6 Dark Blonde — level 6, natural, in a box kit with the developer included. PKR 2,950.
- Loreal Paris Excellence Creme Hair Colour #6.1 Dark Ash Blonde — level 6, .1 ash. Read the section above before you buy it. PKR 2,950.
Remember the FramColor tubes are colour only — the activator is a separate purchase, which is why PKR 1,352 buys a tube while a complete L'Oréal Paris kit like Loreal Paris Excellence Creme Hair Colour #3 Dark Brown is PKR 2,950 with developer and conditioner in the box. Both routes are valid; they are priced differently because they contain different things. The full numbered range is on the Framesi brand page, alongside the rest of our hair care range.

Common Mistakes
- Reading the tone and ignoring the depth. The first digit decides everything; the tone only steers.
- Using 40 vol to force a shade. It exposes warmth faster and wrecks the hair. 20 vol covers grey and lifts a level or two — that is the honest range.
- Buying ash for virgin black hair. Lift first, tone second, or go warm and be happy.
- Trusting a screenshot chart for a tube you cannot verify. Tone keys differ between brands, and counterfeits are common in the local market — check for a printed batch code and a shade number printed on the crimp, not a sticker.
- Colouring over henna without a strand test. Metallic salts and oxidative colour can react badly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BigBasket.pk sell Bremod hair colour?+
No. We do not stock Bremod hair colour, we cannot deliver it, and we do not quote prices for it. We carry Framesi FramColor, L'Oréal Paris and Revlon, including more than 20 numbered FramColor shades starting at PKR 1,352 per tube.
What do numbers like 6.6, 7.3 and 5.35 mean on a hair colour tube?+
The digit before the dot is the depth: 1 is black through to 10 extra light blonde. The digits after are the tone: .0 natural, .1 ash, .2 violet, .3 gold, .4 copper, .5 mahogany, .6 red. So 6.6 is a dark blonde with red, 7.3 a medium blonde with gold, and 5.35 a light brown with gold primary and mahogany secondary.
Which developer volume should I use — 10, 20, 30 or 40?+
10 vol deposits with no lift, 20 vol lifts one to two levels and is standard for grey coverage, 30 vol lifts two to three levels, and 40 vol is for high-lift blonde work only. On dark Pakistani hair, 20 vol handles almost every realistic job at home.
Why does ash hair colour not work on my dark hair?+
Ash tones have no lifting power. On unlifted level 1 to 3 hair the underlying red and orange pigment is never removed, so the ash sits over it and reads muddy. Ash only performs on hair that has already been lifted to the level the shade is designed for.
The Short Version
We do not stock Bremod, so there is no price and no chart copied from someone else's screenshot on this page. What you have instead is the system underneath every professional shade card: depth before the dot, tone after it, 20 vol for most real jobs, 40 vol almost never at home, and ash only on hair that has already been lifted. Take that logic to the more than 20 Framesi FramColor shades on BigBasket.pk from PKR 1,352 a tube, or a complete L'Oréal box kit at PKR 2,950 — all 100% authentic, imported directly, with Cash on Delivery to Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and across Pakistan. Pair whatever you choose with a colour-safe shampoo and a weekly conditioning treatment and the number you picked will still look right in month two.
