Patent ID: 8801808

Claim:
A composition for dyeing keratin fibers comprising: benzyl alcohol; at least one C 1 -C 4 monoalcohol; and at least one direct dye chosen from formula (I), formula (II), and salts thereof: wherein Y is chosen from divalent alkylene radicals comprising from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; R 4 and R 5 , which may be identical or different, are chosen from hydrogen atoms and alkyl and hydroxyalkyl radicals comprising from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; R1 is chosen from hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl radicals; R2 and R3, which may be identical or different, are chosen from hydrogen atoms and NH 2 radicals; wherein: X is chosen from the groups —OH, NH 2 , NHR 11 , NHR 12 and NR 11 R 12 wherein R 11 and R 12 are chosen from: C 1 -C 8 alkyl groups, optionally substituted by a group chosen from —OH groups and amino groups substituted by a radical comprising at least one C 6 -C 20 aromatic ring, R13, R15 and R16, which may be identical or different, are chosen from: hydrogen atoms; halogen atoms; hydroxyl groups; optionally substituted, linear and branched C 1 -C 8 alkoxy and alkyl groups; R14 is chosen from: hydrogen atoms; hydroxyl groups; optionally substituted, linear and branched C 1 -C 8 alkoxy and alkyl groups; and NH 2 and NHR17 group wherein R17 is chosen from (C 1 -C 4 )alkoxycarbonylamino radicals and C 6 -C 20 aromatic radicals optionally substituted by at least one group chosen from amino, hydroxyl, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )dialkylamino, (C 1 -C4)alkylhydroxy(C 1 -C 4 )alkylamino and dihydroxy(C 1 -C 4 )alkylamino groups; A is chosen from oxygen atoms, NH, and NR18 wherein R18 is chosen from C 1 -C 4 alkyl radicals; and R19 is chosen from hydrogen atoms and C 1 -C 8 alkyl radicals.
