Radiant Hair Color shade Avella Light Brown - 7N is a light brown permanent hair color with neutral tone. It delivers full 100% gray coverage.
Shade at a Glance:
Depth = light brown; Undertone = neutral; Finish = light brown tones that add earthy dimension
Who Avella Light Brown is Best For:
Best for level 7 Light Brown hair, or if you'd like to take your color darker. If your grays are less than 50% of your roots, use Avella Light Brown for complete gray coverage. It works for root touch-ups on grays as well as all-over color.
Is This Shade Right For Me?
- Ideal for Light Brown Level 7 for a true neutral brown result
- Levels that are up to two darker than a 7 can use this color to achieve a lighter result only if hair is not already colored.
- Levels lighter than 7 can use to take your color darker
For a cooler take, consider Arezzo Light Brown 7NA; to keep this tone but add our strongest gray coverage for resistant grays: Umbria Light Brown 7.5NNA, or to go warmer, try Lucca Light Brown - 7NGV.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit is a permanent hair color formulated for 100% gray coverage, including resistant and stubborn grays.
For especially hard-to-cover grays, our Knockout shades (identified by 'NNN' or 'NNA' and a '.5' in the level) deliver extra pigment for maximum coverage. A small number of vivid shades are designed for color impact rather than gray coverage; these are noted in the product details and do not include an 'N' in the shade name. Not sure which to pick? Take our Color Quiz or see our Gray Coverage Guide.
It's salon-quality you apply at home. Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color uses the same permanent formula applied by professional colorists at Madison Reed Hair Color Bars — the difference is you apply it yourself.
Crafted in Italy with micro-pigment technology for natural-looking depth and dimension (not the flat, one-tone result common with traditional box dye), the ammonia-free formula is infused with keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract to nourish hair during the coloring process.
Take our free 2-minute Color Quiz which recommends a personalized match based on your current hair color, gray percentage, and desired result.

Permanent color can lighten your natural, uncolored hair by up to two levels. However, color cannot lift color, meaning it won't lighten hair that's already been dyed.
If your hair is currently colored and you want to go lighter, our Prime for Perfection treatment can help gradually fade and lighten your hair by about half a level. You can use it 2–3 times for cumulative lightening — a gentler, more controlled alternative to color removers or bleach.
No - and doing so can make your color go too dark or muddy over time. Apply permanent color to your roots only at each touch-up, then refresh mid-lengths and ends with a Color Reviving Gloss.
This is exactly how professional colorists handle salon touch-ups: it keeps your overall color balanced without over-processing the lengths.
Madison Reed permanent hair color lasts until new growth appears, with most people touching up roots every 4–6 weeks.
To extend vibrancy between applications, use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner ColorSolve, and refresh tone with our Color Therapy Hair Mask, a deep-conditioning hair mask that doubles as a color refresh.
