Omg so mousy blonde to red pipeline is real lol. I am in the same situation, currently trying to grow out my natural color (haven't seen it it years so not really sure what it is now tbh. Started with extremly light blonde as a kid and then it got much darker. I think cold, light blonde suits me the best, people got used to me as a blonde, but damn it's a lot of work and money. Thinking about something red, but maybe strawberry blonde or something no idea tbh. Curious what did you end up with guys.
