    Dark hair has a lot of red pigment in it, and if you use a box of at-home-color on your hair, it will result in a red/orange shade. You should consider letting a professional do it. If you want to go a couple of shades lighter, the hairstylist can do a one-step coloring process to achieve your desired color.
