My natural hair colour was a medium to dark brown, I've been dying it blonde for the past 8+ years and it always came out how I wanted it. I just used to look on the box and then pick one a few shades lighter than what I wanted. Our boxes have a colour chart on the side that shows you what colour your hair will be based on your natural colour. I've always used boxed dyes and got either my mum or friend to do it for me, never had a problem. I've been had purple streaks, dark purple, put over my blonde, that was always boxed and I've recently dyed it back to a few shades darker than my natural colour, also from a box and that turned out fine despite being told I'd have to have the peroxide stripped from my hair before darkening it.
When I dyed mine blonde it came out how I wanted and never got a reddish tint to it.
