INSPIRE. CREATE. COLOR YOUR MUSE.
COLORMUSE, a basic hair color brand developed for the free ideas and creativity of professional designers, features a unique dye design and ingredients that care for hair damaged by repeated coloring treatments. It achieves vibrant and highly reproducible color performance.
Shiseido Professional will relaunch its professional basic hair color brand "COLORMUSE" on June 4, 2026, making it available at hair salons nationwide. This renewal adds two new colors, expanding the lineup to a total of 12 shades (240g each). This further broadens the creative possibilities in salon work, from delicate nuance expressions to edgy design colors. COLORMUSE is a professional hair color brand developed with a focus on the unique hair characteristics of Asians. It achieves both high color expression control and sophisticated finish quality. This renewal also evolves the formulation technology, responding to changing salon needs and providing a more beautiful and manageable color design experience.
New COLORMUSE Technology
This renewal incorporates a newly developed CMC Repair Complex, combining Lipidure® [Polyquaternium-64 (hair repair ingredient)] and Hydrolyzed Pea Protein. Lipidure® [Polyquaternium-64 (hair repair ingredient)] supports the β-layer structure in the CMC (Cell Membrane Complex) inside the hair, repairing damage within the fiber. Furthermore, through a synergistic effect with Hydrolyzed Pea Protein, a hair protection ingredient, it exhibits a "repair effect" that conditions and protects the hair during coloring treatments. This achieves both impactful creative color expression and a smooth, glossy finish.
In addition, COLORMUSE continues to feature advanced technology and care ingredients that enhance color expression, penetration, and longevity.
Contains Acetyl Hyaluronic Acid Na (moisturizer), also found in skincare ingredients.
Contains anti-red melanin dyes that neutralize the redness common in Asian hair.
Penetration-promoting complex formula*1 that efficiently delivers dyes into the cuticle and supports excellent color retention.
VC-IP*2 maintains hair hydrophobicity and supports high color retention effects while protecting against daily damage.
*1 PPG-26 Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol
*2 Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (hair protection ingredient)

New Visuals Featuring New Colors Also Released
The new visuals for this renewal were created in collaboration with Kim JiHyeon, a talented designer based in Cheongdam, Korea, who works on hair for popular idols and artists. In the Korean idol scene, both vibrant color and delicate texture control are required, as well as how the color looks under lighting and its fade design. Kim JiHyeon has been a long-time user of COLORMUSE, praising its "reliable color development and beautiful fade. It gives depth without being fluorescent."
The visuals this time express a fresh pink adjusted with white, and a gradient design using the new Turquoise Blue x Midnight Black. The perspective of "total balance" cultivated in the idol scene is utilized throughout the visuals.
COLORMUSE, which can express elegant depth while being highly vibrant, is supported on the front lines as a "tool for expression that supports stage quality."
Designer: Kim JiHyeon
