what color is henna
What Color is Henna. When you first remove the henna paste the stain will be an orange-yellow color. Watch your new mehndi change from yellow-orange to a deeper reddish-brown (depending on your skin) over the next 48 hours. The dye will oxidize and mature over 2 days, becoming darker and richer in color. You should avoid contact with water as much as possible for the first 24 hours.
