Champagne is a great choice!  It's sort of a mix of gold, pink, and ash...glad it worked for you!

Keep the ash off those roots or they might turn GREEN    Sounds like you have two tone hair.  I've heard of adding some highlights to even things and blend a bit, this may work.  Bleach them until they match the color of the roots.

How about the roots?  Are they yellow or gold?

Is this center pic the color you are referring to?  If so then it's red.

The bright blonde roots most likely appeared from a condition know as hot roots.  The roots, due to the heat from your scalp, will process faster and lighter.  What color is ginger exactly?  If it's an orange color--then blue or an ash would tone those ends down.  Use a demi like Color Gems, less damaging, and don't apply it to your roots.  Sounds like your roots are bright yellow?  If you have that problem then a purple shampoo might help, if not then a violet based toner for the roots only.  If you don't mind the brightness of your ends and want to just tone down the color a bit you can also try a neutral shade in medium blonde, use a demi.

Good luck and STRAND TEST prior to doing the entire head. 

Remember the color wheel orange is neutralized by blue; while yellow is neutralized by violet or purple; and red is neutralized by green (or a mixture of blue and yellow)

hi, My natural hair colour was a dark blonde, I've been dying it dark for
about a year and decided to go blonde. I used a pre-lightener and then a
medium blonde dye. my hair now has bright blonde roots and the rest is
blonde/ginger with occasional dark streaks.it's actually not as disastrous as
it sounds but still a bit bright and i want to lessen the ginger. i have heard
that an ash blonde dye might help. should i try this? will it make the bright
blonde roots grey? should i apply it to the rest of my hair and not on the
roots?
please advise me.
