Ombré /'?mbre?/ (literally "shaded" in French) is the gradual blending of one color hue to another, usually moving tints and shades from light to dark. In hair coloring, hair which has an ombre is said to be ombrée (of women) or ombré (of men).

Shading has always been commonly seen as a treatment wherever coloring is applied and has been. It has become a popular feature for hair coloring, nail art, and even baking, in addition to its uses in home decorating and graphic design.

History

Using shading or creating an ombré effect is ubiquitous. For instance, in fabric printing, using a special printing block called a "rainbowed" block, was used in the early 19th century to produce textiles with graduated color designs. Ombré as a textile treatment came back into fashion in around 1840 and was used throughout the 19th century. In machine embroidery an ombré effect was achieved by dyeing the threads in graded colors beforehand.

21st century

Ombré as a hair-coloring technique is believed to have been popularised in 2000 when the artist Aaliyah had her hair dyed in a subtle gradual fade from black at the roots to lighter towards the hair tips. As of 2010, the ombré hair trend was still popular. The style has been adopted by many celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Lauren Conrad, Nicole Kidman, Beyoncé, and even Jared Leto, among others. One stylist finds that the ombré hairstyle requires very little upkeep, making it easier for it to remain on trend. While ombre was initially the gradual lightening of the hair from dark to light, it has expanded to take on various other techniques, including the fading of a natural color from the roots to a more unnatural color (such as turquoise or lavender) at the tips.

The popularization of ombré hair encouraged the spread of the ombré technique to other facets of beauty, such as nail art. The adoption of the ombré nails trend by celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Victoria Beckham, and Katy Perry, helped popularise it.

Following the early 21st-century trend, many popular home decorators have incorporated ombré into their home decorating styles. Ombré can be used in many products from textiles to glassware, and as a wall-painting technique, where walls are painted in colors graduating to a lighter or darker tone towards the other end. Martha Stewart describes the gentle progression of color in ombré as a transition from wakefulness to slumber.. David Kohn Architects have explored the Ombré effect in the design of the floor tiling of the interior of an apartment, Carrer Avinyó, Barcelona. The tile pattern is graded in colour from green at one end of the apartment to red at the other to differentiate the two owners' private spaces. The encaustic tiles were manufactured by Mosaics Martí, suppliers of tiles to Antoni Gaudí.

Baking

In baking, ombré effects are typically achieved through applied techniques such as frosting on a cake; but it is possible to bake individual cake layers in graduated tones from light to dark. The effect can also be achieved by dyeing and stacking the layers of a cake in the ombré fade.

Makeup

Due to the color range available for different types of cosmetic products, an ombré effect can be achieved by blending two or more shades together on the eyes, lips or cheeks. The gradient from dark to light is similar to the practice of contouring, where different tints and shades of natural skin tones are blended but differs in that contouring is often intended to artificially sculpt the face whereas ombré can be said to simply mean the blending of any two or more shades, natural or otherwise.
