Inventory and prices are time-sensitive. The figures above were read from the active Shopify variants on September 25, 2026; the product pages remain the current source at checkout.

Bigen Cream Tone: five coded shades

Bigen Cream Tone is the broadest single-item shade group in this comparison. The active product page identifies it as a two-part cream hair color for grey hair from Hoyu and lists five G-series options. Its English shade guide runs from lighter chestnut brown at 3G through natural dark brown at 7G.

Code Shade guide on the active product page Price Inventory note
3G Lighter chestnut brown ¥550 Highest Bigen inventory: 80
4G Natural chestnut brown ¥594 50
5G Deep chestnut brown ¥594 50
6G Natural brown ¥550 20
7G Natural dark brown ¥594 Lowest Bigen inventory: 10

These descriptions are guides for the Bigen line only. A number in one brand is not evidence of an equivalent shade number in another brand. Starting hair color, previous coloring, grey coverage, application, and processing conditions can also affect the visible result.

Shiseido Prior: four colors sold in four-packs

Shiseido Prior color-conditioner options from the YUBI100 Shopify gallery
The Prior listing offers one selected color as four matching 230g tubes.

Shiseido Prior is the outlier in this comparison because the active listing describes a color conditioner rather than a two-part cream hair color. Each option is a four-pack of the same 230g color: Grey, Black, Dark Brown, or Brown. It is not a mixed-color assortment.

All four Prior options are currently ¥4,800. Black and Dark Brown each have 30 sets in inventory, Grey has 29, and Brown has four. The Grey option should not be treated as a “darkest” or “lightest” step in the brown-to-black sequence; it is a separately named color option.

Shiseido Tiara: three numbered cream colors

Shiseido Tiara cream hair-color products from the YUBI100 Shopify gallery
Tiara options 4, 5, and 6 are each listed at ¥850 with 30 units in inventory.

Shiseido Tiara has the simplest current inventory pattern: options 4, 5, and 6 each cost ¥850, use SKUs 19064 through 19066, and show 30 units in stock. The product page identifies the line as a cream type for grey hair.

The listing’s numeric option names are preserved exactly. This article does not map Tiara 4, 5, or 6 to Bigen 4G, 5G, or 6G because the manufacturers use their own shade systems. Choose from the shade information supplied for the exact product rather than assuming that matching numbers produce matching colors.

How to choose among the listings

Choose by product format first

Start with the format you intend to buy. Bigen and Tiara are listed as cream hair colors. Prior is listed as a 230g color conditioner sold in a four-pack. Their prices and quantities therefore answer different shopping questions.

Then choose within that product’s own shade system

Bigen provides five G-series labels, Prior uses four color names, and Tiara uses three numbers. The labels are useful within their own product lines, not as a universal cross-brand scale.

Check the exact sales unit and current inventory

The Prior price covers four matching tubes. The Bigen and Tiara options are not described as four-packs. Stock also varies sharply: Prior Brown has four sets and Bigen 7G has ten units, while Bigen 3G has 80.

Important use and safety distinction

Follow the instructions supplied with the exact selected product. Bigen’s active page identifies a two-part Japanese quasi-drug hair color and instructs users to perform the required skin-allergy test before every use. It also says not to use hair color after a previous hair-color reaction. Do not transfer those directions, timing, mixing ratios, or safety assumptions to a different product; use the enclosed instructions for Prior or Tiara instead.

This comparison is a catalog and shopping guide, not a prediction of the final color and not medical advice. No personal-use results were supplied, so no performance or comfort claims are made.
