Abstract

Abstract WHEREIN R1 and R3 each independently represent a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl and NHCOR wherein R is lower alkyl; R2 represents a member selected from the group consisting of ureido, -NHCOR wherein R is lower alkyl and -NHR8 wherein R8 represents a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl and carbamylmethyl, with the proviso that when R2 is -NHR8, R3 is not hydrogen; and R4, R5, R6 and R7 each independently represent a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl and lower alkoxy. The said indophenol is present in the composition in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent thereof. A composition for coloring keratin fibers comprises a solution of an indophenol in a solvent selected from the group consisting of water and an aqueous solution of a lower alkanol, said indophenol having the formula
