STAGGERED PRISM FOIL COLOR:
Analyze and reproduce only the color architecture described below. Do not import any haircut, length, layers, bangs, part, texture, curl pattern, wave pattern, density, volume, styling, silhouette, accessories, or face from the reference.

The defining construction is a high-density foil-painted rainbow system made from approximately 50–70 individually isolated narrow sections. Each long foil section contains multiple small, compact rainbow sequences stacked vertically down its length. Adjacent foils are deliberately offset so their miniature rainbow sequences occur at different heights. The finished effect must resolve at close range into dozens of separate staggered miniature rainbows rather than broad multicolor streaks or one continuous root-to-end rainbow gradient.

BASE COLOR
The natural foundation is a warm medium blonde to light golden brown, approximately level 6–7, with honey-beige, muted gold, and soft caramel undertones.
It is moderately warm, medium-light in depth, naturally dimensional, and substantially less saturated than the fashion colors.
Approximate visual family: warm honey dark blonde/light golden brown, roughly #8B693F–#A67B4C, allowing natural strand-to-strand variation.
The natural foundation functions as the canvas surrounding and separating the many rainbow-painted foil sections. It remains most apparent at the roots and in narrow unpainted or minimally painted channels between selected colored sections.
The base must not become the dominant visual impression through the lengths. Once the eye moves away from the scalp, the repeated miniature rainbow units become overwhelmingly dominant.

SECONDARY COLORS
The fashion colors form a complete, extremely saturated visible spectrum.
Scarlet / hot primary red: Highly saturated warm-to-neutral red of medium visual depth. Appears repeatedly as short bands inside many separate foil sections rather than as one large permanent red panel. Approximately 16% of visible coverage.
Flame orange: Brilliant warm orange to red-orange. Usually positioned immediately beside red and/or yellow within individual miniature rainbow sequences. Approximately 13%.
Electric golden yellow: Extremely bright saturated primary-to-warm yellow. One of the lightest colors and especially important for making each small rainbow unit visually legible. Approximately 13%.
Acid lime / yellow-green: Vivid yellow-green bridging yellow and deeper green. Approximately 8%.
Emerald / vivid grass green: Saturated medium green, cooler and deeper than lime. Approximately 10%.
Turquoise / cyan: Brilliant cool blue-green/cyan. Approximately 8%.
Royal / electric blue: Saturated medium-to-deep blue, strongly contrasting with orange and yellow. Approximately 8%.
Violet / purple: Saturated medium-deep violet to occasional blue-violet. Approximately 7%.
Hot magenta / fuchsia: Highly saturated pink-red-violet, frequently appearing beside violet or red where a miniature spectrum wraps or repeats. Approximately 9%.
Visible natural honey-blonde/light-golden-brown foundation: Approximately 8%.
The exact percentage of individual rainbow hues can vary slightly because the identifying feature is the repeated miniature-spectrum construction, not a mathematically equal amount of every pigment.

ROOT COLOR AND ROOT TRANSITION
The immediate root remains predominantly natural warm level 6–7 honey-blonde/light golden brown.
The root is neither black nor heavily shadowed.
Maintain approximately the first 5–12% of strand length as recognizable natural root on most sections, but do not create one perfectly horizontal line around the head.
Different foils begin slightly higher or lower.
Some painted foil sections approach relatively close to the root while others retain a longer natural section before the first miniature rainbow begins.
The transition is therefore staggered foil-by-foil, not a universal root melt.
Do not create:

- a single horizontal rainbow starting line
- a conventional shadow-root ombré
- one continuous rainbow gradient emerging from the roots
- one large colored panel covering the root area

COLOR PLACEMENT MAP
The rainbow treatment is distributed throughout the head through dozens of separately isolated foil sections.
Front hairline: Predominantly natural level 6–7 foundation at the immediate scalp, with colored foils beginning behind and beneath the hairline.
Temples: Multiple narrow foil sections containing compact repeated rainbow sequences. Different foils begin their color cycles at different vertical positions.
Face-framing region: Contains selected rainbow foils rather than one solid money piece. Both warm and cool spectral colors should become visible around the face.
Upper sides: Dense population of narrow individually painted foils. Small rainbow units begin at staggered heights.
Lower sides: Repeated miniature rainbows become increasingly obvious because multiple vertically stacked rainbow sequences are visible along each long section.
Crown: Natural root foundation with numerous narrow foil sections radiating into the surrounding hair.
Upper rear: High-density staggered rainbow foiling.
Mid-rear: Maximum visual concentration of miniature rainbow sequences. This region should clearly demonstrate that the effect consists of dozens of separate foils.
Lower rear: Continued repeated rainbow units rather than a single terminal color.
Nape: Natural foundation at the immediate scalp with additional individually isolated rainbow foils extending through the lengths.
Outer surface: Dense rainbow-foil visibility.
Interior layers: Also contain individually painted rainbow foils.
Underside: Continues the same staggered foil architecture rather than becoming one solid hidden color.

SECTIONING LOGIC
This is the defining technical feature of the colorway.
Construct approximately 50–70 separate narrow foil sections distributed throughout the head. The exact count may scale slightly with target density and head coverage, but the visual result must always suggest many dozens of individually processed sections, not 10–20 large panels.
Each foil isolates a relatively narrow longitudinal slice of hair.
The foil itself extends along a substantial portion of the hair section, but the color painted inside the foil is divided into numerous short transverse color zones.
Within one foil, paint a compact miniature rainbow sequence such as:
red → orange → yellow → lime/green → cyan/blue → violet/magenta
across a relatively short vertical distance.
Then continue farther down that same foil with another miniature spectrum or partial spectrum.
Therefore, a single long foil can contain multiple separate little rainbows stacked one beneath another.
The neighboring foil must be vertically offset.
If foil A displays:
RED / ORANGE / YELLOW / GREEN / BLUE / VIOLET
at one height, foil B beside it should begin its corresponding miniature spectrum noticeably higher or lower.
Foil C should be offset again.
Foil D may begin midway through a different hue sequence.
This creates a staggered mosaic of miniature rainbows across the head.
The color architecture must NOT resolve into aligned horizontal bands when all foils are released.

FOIL ORIENTATION
The isolated hair sections run primarily longitudinally/root-to-end.
Inside each longitudinal foil, however, the individual colors are painted as short horizontal, slightly diagonal, or softly irregular transverse bands across that foil section.
This distinction is essential:
The FOIL is long and narrow.
The RAINBOW inside the foil is short and segmented.
Do not interpret the reference as long uninterrupted red, yellow, green, or blue vertical ribbons.

STRAND-LEVEL DISTRIBUTION
At close range, the hair should resolve into many narrow individually processed sections.
Within each section, colors appear as short saturated blocks/bands rather than one color extending through a large percentage of strand length.
A typical isolated foil section should visually contain multiple compact color segments.
For example:
Foil 01:
natural root → red → orange → yellow → green → cyan → blue → violet → magenta → red → orange → yellow → green...
Foil 02:
natural root → green → cyan → blue → violet → magenta → red → orange → yellow → green → cyan...
Foil 03:
natural root → yellow → green → blue → violet → magenta → red → orange → yellow...
These examples describe phase staggering, not mandatory identical sequences.
The important principle is that neighboring foil sections are at different points in the spectrum at the same vertical height.
Individual foil widths should generally read as fine-to-medium narrow sections, approximately 0.5–2 cm of visible section width depending on density and target hairstyle scale.
Occasional slightly wider sections are acceptable, but broad 4–5 cm rainbow panels must not dominate.
At ordinary viewing distance, overlapping foils create a complex prismatic field.
At close range, the viewer should clearly discover:
small rainbow → small rainbow → small rainbow
repeated down one long isolated section, beside dozens of other sections doing the same thing at different vertical offsets.

FRONT-FACING COLOR ARCHITECTURE
The immediate front hairline remains natural honey-blonde/light golden brown.
Rainbow color should become visible immediately behind and beneath this natural root through numerous fine-to-medium foil sections.
ANATOMICAL LEFT: Multiple separate rainbow foils. At any single horizontal height, one foil might display red, its neighbor yellow, another green, another blue, and another magenta because their miniature rainbow sequences are vertically staggered.
ANATOMICAL RIGHT: The same high-density foil construction, but independently phased. Do not mirror the exact color positions from anatomical left.
Neither side receives one dominant permanent hue.
There is no single solid rainbow money piece.
The front view should show a fragmented, extremely colorful prismatic field whose underlying foil-by-foil construction becomes apparent on closer inspection.

ANATOMICAL LEFT COLOR MAP
Maintain the natural level 6–7 foundation at the root.
Distribute numerous narrow isolated foil sections from exterior through interior.
Every foil carries compact rainbow segments down its length.
The miniature spectra must be staggered vertically relative to neighboring sections.
At a given height, anatomical left should therefore display a mixed collection of red, orange, yellow, lime, green, cyan, blue, violet, and magenta rather than a continuous horizontal band of one color.
As the eye travels downward, those same narrow foil sections repeatedly change through additional compact spectral sequences.
Do not merge the foil sections into broad vertical color ribbons.

ANATOMICAL RIGHT COLOR MAP
Use the same foil density and miniature-rainbow construction as anatomical left.
Do not duplicate the exact phase positions.
If a left-side foil begins a miniature rainbow with red at a particular relative height, its corresponding right-side section should not automatically do the same.
Use independent staggered offsets so the overall result remains organic and hand-painted.
At every major vertical level, multiple different spectrum colors should be visible simultaneously because neighboring foils are at different stages of their repeated rainbow sequences.

CROWN AND REAR COLOR MAP
Crown: Natural level 6–7 root foundation. Numerous narrow foil sections originate beneath the visible root zone at individually staggered starting points.
Upper back: Dense population of separately painted foils. The first miniature rainbow sequence begins at different heights from section to section.
Mid-back: This is the clearest showcase of the technique. Dozens of narrow sections should be simultaneously visible, each carrying small red-orange-yellow-green-blue-violet/magenta sequences at different vertical positions.
The mid-back must not look like giant flowing rainbow streaks. It should look like many independently painted sections whose little rainbows overlap visually.
Lower back: Continue additional compact rainbow repetitions. Individual sections may be in completely different spectral phases at the same height.
Nape: Preserve natural root coloration at the immediate scalp before the staggered foil system begins.
The rear must remain spatially continuous. Individual foils occupy fixed positions and must continue logically around the curvature of the head.

INTERIOR / UNDERLAYER COLOR
There is no single dedicated underlayer or underdye.
The foil system extends through both exterior and interior hair.
Interior sections contain additional staggered miniature-rainbow foils.
When the target hairstyle moves, separates, is viewed from the side, or exposes deeper hair, additional individually colored foil sections should become visible.
This depth is important because it prevents the effect from reading as rainbow paint applied only to the outermost surface.
Natural foundation may remain between selected interior foils.

ROOT-TO-END BEHAVIOR
The root-to-end behavior is fundamentally repetitive and segmented.
Do not assign one color to an entire strand.
Do not make each foil perform only one giant root-to-end rainbow.
After the natural root zone, individual foil sections repeatedly cycle through short spectral bands.
A representative long foil may behave approximately as:
natural root → mini rainbow 1 → mini rainbow 2 → mini rainbow 3 → mini rainbow 4 → additional partial/full rainbow toward ends
depending on available target length.
Each miniature rainbow occupies only a fraction of total strand length.
On very long target hair, several full or partial rainbow repetitions should be visible.
On shorter target hair, proportionally compress the construction while retaining enough repeated small color changes for the technique to remain recognizable.
Approximate relative behavior:

- 0–5/12%: predominantly natural root
- upper lengths: first staggered miniature rainbow units
- upper-middle: additional complete/partial miniature rainbow sequences
- middle: continued compact spectral repetitions
- lower-middle: further staggered repetitions
- ends: remain multicolored and may terminate at different points within the spectrum depending on foil phase
  Different foils must terminate in different colors.
  There should never be one universal end shade.

EDGE AND BOUNDARY QUALITY
The boundaries between neighboring foil sections are distinct and sectioned.
Within each miniature rainbow, adjacent spectral colors meet through clean but slightly softened salon-painted transitions.
The transition from red into orange, orange into yellow, yellow into green, and so forth may feather slightly, but each hue must remain clearly identifiable.
Do not create long blurred melts.
Do not airbrush the colors together.
Do not create perfectly hard digital rectangles either.
The correct appearance is precise foil painting with slight pigment diffusion at the immediate boundary.
From close range, the viewer should be able to follow the color sequence within an individual isolated section.

COLOR PROPORTIONS
Approximate visible distribution:

- Scarlet / hot red: 16%
- Flame orange: 13%
- Electric yellow: 13%
- Acid lime / yellow-green: 8%
- Emerald / vivid green: 10%
- Turquoise / cyan: 8%
- Royal / electric blue: 8%
- Violet / purple: 7%
- Hot magenta / fuchsia: 9%
- Natural honey-blonde/light-golden-brown foundation: 8%
  Total: approximately 100%.
  These percentages describe overall visible color coverage. They do not mean 16% of foils are exclusively red. Individual foils contain multiple colors.

CONTRAST AND VISUAL HIERARCHY
The overall design reads as extremely saturated, high-contrast, prismatic fashion color.
At normal distance, the first impression is an explosive multicolor rainbow field.
At closer distance, the second and more important impression is the technical construction:
dozens of narrow foils + repeated tiny rainbow sequences + staggered vertical phase offsets.
Yellow and orange provide the brightest luminous points.
Red and magenta create powerful hot-color anchors.
Green, cyan, blue, and violet produce the strongest cool contrast.
Important complementary juxtapositions include:

- orange against blue
- yellow against violet
- red/magenta against green
- cyan against red/orange
  Because neighboring foils are vertically staggered, these complementary pairings occur repeatedly throughout the entire color field.

COLOR FINISH
The fashion pigments are extremely saturated, jewel-bright, glossy professional direct-dye colors.
Maintain exceptionally clean chromatic separation.
Red remains hot red rather than burgundy.
Orange remains fiery rather than copper-brown.
Yellow remains brilliant rather than mustard.
Lime remains acidic and luminous.
Green remains saturated rather than olive.
Cyan remains bright blue-green.
Blue remains electric rather than grey/navy.
Violet remains unmistakably purple.
Magenta remains vivid hot pink/fuchsia rather than wine.
The natural foundation should remain comparatively subdued, warm, and believable.
The overall result should look labor-intensive and individually foil-painted, not like a digital rainbow texture mapped over the hair.

MULTI-VIEW CONSISTENCY RULE
Treat all approximately 50–70 foil sections as fixed physical sections on one three-dimensional head.
Each foil has:

- a fixed anatomical location
- a fixed width
- a fixed root starting point
- a fixed miniature-rainbow sequence
- fixed vertical offsets
- fixed transition positions
- a fixed ending phase
  These properties must remain unchanged between camera views.
  A foil visible on anatomical left must remain anatomical left.
  A foil hidden beneath another section may become more visible from another angle, but its rainbow sequence must not regenerate.
  Do not mirror the foil pattern.
  Do not randomly recolor sections between views.
  Do not align previously staggered rainbow bands.
  The entire color system must behave like one real completed salon color service photographed from different angles.

TRANSFER RULE
Apply this color architecture to the target hairstyle without importing any structural feature from the reference.
Preserve the target hairstyle's:

- silhouette
- length
- part
- bangs
- layers
- texture
- curl or wave pattern
- density
- styling
- hairline construction
  Only replace or define its color system.
  Translate the foil count and width proportionally to the target density while preserving the appearance of approximately 50–70 individually isolated narrow color sections on an average full head.
  Translate miniature-rainbow length proportionally to the target strand length.
  Long hair should display multiple compact rainbow repetitions per foil.
  Shorter hair should compress the repetitions rather than enlarging one rainbow to fill the entire strand.
  The final target must retain the illusion that a stylist physically separated dozens of narrow sections, placed each into its own foil, hand-painted multiple tiny rainbow sequences down every foil, and deliberately staggered those sequences relative to neighboring foils.

NON-NEGOTIABLE COLOR FEATURES

1. Approximately 50–70 individually isolated narrow foil sections distributed throughout the head.
2. Each long foil contains multiple short miniature red-orange-yellow-green-cyan/blue-violet/magenta rainbow sequences stacked down its length.
3. Neighboring foils are vertically staggered/out of phase so matching colors never form continuous horizontal bands across the head.
4. The foil sections run longitudinally, while the individual rainbow colors inside each foil form short transverse or slightly diagonal bands.
5. Natural warm level 6–7 honey-blonde/light-golden-brown roots and narrow foundation intervals remain visible.
6. Rainbow foils continue through exterior and interior hair rather than existing only on the surface or as a dedicated underlayer.
7. Extremely saturated.
