What level on the color system is represented by the color black?

Level two
Level three
Level one
Level four

The correct answer is: Level one

The color black is representative of level one on the hair color level system. In this system, levels are used to categorize hair colors from darkest to lightest. Level one denotes the darkest possible hair color, which is pure black. This level serves as the foundation for understanding how other colors are classified; as the levels progress to higher numbers, colors become lighter, moving toward level ten, which represents the lightest blonde. Levels two, three, and four correspond to dark brown to light brown shades, which are all progressively lighter than level one. Understanding this hierarchy is crucial for cosmetologists when selecting hair color and making color corrections.
