Arctic Fox Witches Delight: Meet the New Dark Purple Hair Colour
1st Oct 2026
There's a new shade in the Arctic Fox Hair Color line-up — and this one is heading to the dark side.
Meet Arctic Fox Witches Delight, a rich dark purple created for anyone who loves their violet hair deeper, moodier and a little more mysterious.
Arctic Fox already has some instantly recognisable purple shades, but Witches Delight gives purple lovers another direction to explore.
So, what colour is Witches Delight, how does it compare with other Arctic Fox purples, and do you need blonde hair to use it?
Here's what you need to know.
What Colour Is Arctic Fox Witches Delight?
Witches Delight is a dark purple semi-permanent hair colour.
Rather than going for a light lavender or extremely bright violet appearance, this shade sits at the deeper end of the purple spectrum.
Think rich, dramatic purple rather than pastel.
That makes Witches Delight particularly interesting for anyone who has wanted to try purple hair but prefers a darker, more intense result.
And because it's an Arctic Fox shade, it's a semi-permanent direct colour rather than a permanent oxidative hair dye.

Who Is Witches Delight For?
This is the shade we'd look at if you want:
- Dark purple hair
- A deeper alternative to bright violet
- A dramatic fashion colour
- Rich purple tones
- Semi-permanent colour rather than permanent dye
- A new Arctic Fox shade to experiment with
It could also be an interesting choice for existing Arctic Fox customers who already know the brand but want to move into a deeper purple direction.
Does Arctic Fox Witches Delight Work on Dark Hair?
This will probably become one of the biggest questions around the shade.
As with other direct semi-permanent colours, your starting colour matters.
Witches Delight deposits pigment; it doesn't substantially lighten your natural hair first.
Because Witches Delight is already a dark purple, however, it's particularly interesting to see how it behaves across deeper starting bases.
On very light or pre-lightened hair, you can expect the purple character of the shade to show much more clearly.
On darker blonde and brown bases, the result will naturally interact with the existing colour underneath and may appear considerably deeper or more subtle.
On very dark brown or black hair, don't expect the same visible result you'd achieve on blonde hair.
Hair2Buy Expert Tip
Don't automatically reach for bleach just because you're using a fashion colour.
If you actually want a deep purple result, test Witches Delight on your existing base first. You may prefer the darker result.
A strand test is your friend.
Witches Delight vs Purple AF: What's the Difference?
This is where things get particularly interesting for Arctic Fox fans.
Purple AF is already one of the best-known purples in the Arctic Fox range.
Witches Delight gives customers another option when they're searching for purple but want to explore something darker and moodier.
If you're deciding between them, don't simply ask:
"Which Arctic Fox purple is better?"
Ask:
"How dark do I want my purple?"
If you love the established vibrant character of Purple AF, that's the shade to investigate.
If the idea of a new, deeper dark purple is what caught your attention, Witches Delight deserves a closer look.

Do You Need to Bleach Your Hair for Witches Delight?
Not necessarily.
If you're starting with dark hair and want the colour to look dramatically purple, lightening the hair first can provide a brighter canvas.
But if you're specifically attracted to Witches Delight because you want a deep purple, you may not necessarily want the palest possible base.
The finished result will depend on your starting colour, previous colouring and hair porosity.
And remember: bleaching and applying Arctic Fox semi-permanent colour are two separate processes.
Don't compromise already damaged hair simply to achieve a lighter starting point.
How Long Will Arctic Fox Witches Delight Last?
Witches Delight is a semi-permanent colour, so expect it to gradually fade rather than permanently altering your natural hair colour.
Exactly how quickly that happens will vary.
Factors include:
- How frequently you shampoo
- Your starting colour
- Hair porosity
- Previous bleaching
- Water temperature
- Heat styling
- Swimming
- Your general hair-care routine
If maintaining the deepest possible purple is important to you, colour-friendly aftercare and avoiding unnecessary washing can help.
Can You Mix Witches Delight with Other Arctic Fox Colours?
One of the attractions of semi-permanent creative colour is the potential to experiment with custom shades.
Witches Delight's dark purple direction could make it particularly interesting for anyone who already enjoys mixing Arctic Fox colours.
But when you're experimenting with a brand-new shade, we'd suggest seeing what Witches Delight does on its own first.
Once you know its true character on your hair, you'll have a much better idea of where you want to take it.
And always test a custom mixture before covering your whole head.
