Burgundy
Colour Me Organic Premium
Certified Organic Hair Color 3.5oz
A wine red from six organic herbs — and one of only two shades we make where henna comes first on the ingredient list.
Day one will look wrong. After a green cast at the rinse, this shade goes warm and orange for a day before the depth arrives. It deepens into wine over days two and three. Don't judge it on the first evening.

Each shade is vacuum-sealed to help protect the herbs from oxidation, designed for a 5-year shelf life, and shipped more frequently by air from our production facility in India so newer product can reach you more reliably.

Embrace the Depth of Natural Burgundy Hair
Burgundy is a deep, wine-inspired shade that blends red and violet undertones with subtle brown depth. This refined hue delivers dimension and richness while maintaining a natural-looking finish.
Unlike flat synthetic dyes, Burgundy reveals layered warmth and vibrancy under natural light. The balance between cool red-violet tones and soft depth creates a sophisticated look that feels bold yet elegant — expressive without being overpowering.
This luxurious shade enhances your overall presence with confidence, warmth, and timeless beauty.
Transform your style with 100% organic hair color and enjoy long-lasting vibrancy without harsh chemicals. Embrace color inspired purely by nature.
Burgundy Hair Color for Your Skin Tone
Burgundy complements a wide range of complexions with its rich, dimensional tone:
-
Dark Skin Tone: Creates dramatic contrast with deep red-violet richness
-
Medium Skin Tone: Enhances warmth while adding luminous depth
-
Light Skin Tone: Adds elegant dimension with vibrant radiance
Burgundy adapts beautifully to different undertones, offering a striking yet natural finish for every look.
Burgundy or Auburn Red?
Both open with henna — unusual for us, since most of our shades start with indigo. The difference is what comes next.
Auburn Red has no manjistha at all, and its amla sits third. Burgundy puts manjistha third and hibiscus fourth, with the amla pushed down to fifth. Two red-carrying herbs high on the list and the acid that would cool them low: that is what makes wine rather than copper. Compare with Auburn Red →

What kind of colour this is
Red is the colour a bottle loses fastest. Red pigment molecules are the smallest and least light-stable of the lot — and once the cuticle has been lifted to put them in, it never closes back the way it was. That leaves an open route out.
Nothing is opened to put this colour there. Lawsone forms a covalent bond with keratin in the outer layers, so it wears as the hair wears rather than rinsing out.
- Powder-based organic colour for men and women
- Certified organic by ECOCERT
- No peroxide, ammonia, PPD, parabens or synthetic pigment
- Contains indigo — there is a green cast at the first rinse, and it clears within a day
- Colours grey most vividly of all; on darker hair it reads as depth rather than a colour change
- At-home application, no developer to mix
- Not suitable for anyone with a known indigo or plant-dye allergy — patch test first
What to expect over three days
- Right after rinsing — a green cast over the warmth. That's the indigo before it has met the air. Temporary.
- First 12 to 24 hours — the green clears and the henna comes forward, reading warmer and more orange than the finish.
- Days two and three — deepens into wine as the indigo, manjistha and hibiscus arrive. Judge your colour here.
Do not blow-dry. Not while the paste is on, and not for the first 24 hours after rinsing. Dry the paste and nothing transfers; dry the hair afterwards and the colour stalls partway. Shower cap while it processes, air-dry after.
What sets Radico apart from other hair color brands is our commitment to organic and natural ingredients. We are proud to be the first company in the world to receive organic certification for our hair colors, ensuring that our products are free from chemicals and additives.
How is burgundy different from mahogany?
Burgundy is a deep reddish brown shade lighter than the color mahogany.
- Burgundy has a red-violet reflection and is much more relaxed in tone, making it appear more profound.
- Mahogany is warmer and has a red-orange reflection, making it appear brighter and browner.
Even though they each have red as a primary ingredient, there are subtle differences between them.

Ingredients
Six certified organic herbs, and no base powder or carrier underneath them. Ingredient lists run in order of quantity, and this is one of only three shades we make where henna comes first. Behind it, manjistha and hibiscus sit third and fourth — both red — while the acid that would cool them sits fifth. That order is what makes this a wine red rather than a copper one.
Important: this shade contains indigo, which a small number of people react to. Patch test before use, especially if you have sensitive skin or have reacted to plant dyes before. Stop use if irritation occurs. 100% organic. Made in India.
FAQ
Yes. Indigo is second on the ingredient list for this shade — it is what takes henna's red away from copper and toward wine. If you have a known indigo or plant-dye sensitivity, don't use it. If you're unsure, patch test and wait 48 hours.
Less than you might hope. Plant pigment adds and never lifts, so on dark brown or black hair Burgundy reads as depth and a red sheen in the light rather than a visible wine colour. It shows most clearly on light to medium brown hair, and most vividly of all on grey.
Not on day one. After a green cast at the rinse, the henna comes forward first and reads much warmer than the finished shade. The indigo, manjistha and hibiscus all arrive more slowly, deepening it into wine over days two and three. What isn't right is a flat orange still sitting there on day four — that usually means the development stopped early, almost always from force-drying the hair.
That is the indigo before it has met the air. It sits over the warmth for a day and clears on its own. The red underneath is already forming.
Not while the paste is on, and not for the first 24 hours after rinsing. Warmth helps the colour along, which is why a shower cap works so well — it holds warmth and moisture together. A hair dryer gives you the warmth and takes the moisture, and moisture is what carries the pigment onto the fibre and lets the reaction finish. Force-drying leaves the colour stalled partway.
Both open with henna, which is unusual — most of our shades start with indigo. The difference is what comes next. Auburn Red has no manjistha at all, and its amla sits third. Burgundy puts manjistha third and hibiscus fourth, with the amla pushed down to fifth. Two red-carrying herbs high on the list and the acid that cools them low: that is what makes wine rather than copper.
It colours grey readily — grey has no melanin of its own to compete, so it takes plant pigment more easily than pigmented hair does. On darker hair with greys, the greys will take the red while the rest changes less, which reads as highlights rather than uniform coverage.
Typically about 30–45 days, depending on your hair type and washing routine. Because lawsone is bonded to the keratin rather than deposited inside the shaft, it wears down gradually rather than rinsing out — so it softens rather than growing out in a hard line. Strong or clarifying shampoos, frequent washing and very hot water all shorten it.
No. This is a non-oxidative plant colour with no peroxide or ammonia-type lightening agents, so it deposits colour rather than lifting your natural pigment. A lighter result requires starting with a lighter base.
Tell us. Day one looks alarming enough that people sometimes give up before the colour lands, so give it three days first. First-time customers who don't get the result they expected can have a different shade sent free, or a full refund on the colour.
It's made from certified organic herbs with no synthetic additives, but any colour product can irritate some people, and indigo in particular causes reactions in a small number. Patch test before full application, especially with sensitive skin or a history of reactions to plant dyes. Stop use if irritation occurs.

The US Pouch
Ordered as Needed, Flown In, Shipped Fresh
Every pouch we sell is handled the same way, from the factory in India to your door, so that it reaches you as close to freshly made as we can manage — and so all 24 shades stay in stock.
1 · In India
Sealed at the factory
Dried, blended, vacuum-packed
The herbs are dried and blended at the factory and vacuum-sealed there, while the powder is fresh. Air is what ages plant powder — henna's pigment breaks down with oxygen, and air-exposed powder smells much stronger.
2 · On the way
Flown in
By the pallet, by air
Each shade is ordered in units of 25, and the shades due for restocking are combined into a pallet of about 1,000 pouches, flown to Torrance, California — days in the air instead of months at sea.
3 · In Torrance
Checked monthly
Each shade, on its own schedule
We check every shade's sales each month and forecast demand from our sales history, with the help of AI. When a shade drops below three to six months of stock, we order about a year to eighteen months' worth — enough to stay in stock, not so much that it sits.
4 · To your door
18 months+
Left on every pouch we send
We ship the oldest stock first, and take any batch with less than 18 months left out of sale. Every order arrives with at least 18 months before its expiry date.
✓5 years unopened, from manufacture — set with room to spare
✓Batch, MFG and EXP printed on every pouch
