About 3 days ago I dyed my hair a medium brown semi permant color by Clariol Natural Instintcs over my hair which was a dark red color. It was too dark for me, so last nite I dyed my hair another semi dye by loreal called amber which is a light brown. Well that didn`t work so well...my hair might be only 1 shade lighter, and I really hate it. I`m thinking of putting Brown sugar, a light brown by Garner Nutresse, which is permanent but will that work to make my hair a light brown color?

well first off, strand test first. Second, i would try some henna dye, i find it reliable, and many brands have guides as to what color your hair will turn out depending on your natural color. plus its good for your hair and doesnt put any crap in it. if all else fails you can always go pro, but that can be a major waste of money!!

The problem is you already had a dark dye in your hair. In my experience if you have one dark color in your hair and try to color over it, the new lighter color doesn`t really lift off the darker dye. If your hair hasn`t been colored or has been colored blonde, you can put a light brown color in and it will work fine. I would leave my hair alone if I were you.
