    Color won't lift color so you'll have to strip it to remove some of the black before you can do a brown.

    You still can't take color out with color... my best reccommendation would be to go to a reputable salon and ask for highlights. This will lighten your hair up and it won't seem so dark... if you don't want to keep up the highlights in the future, use a semi permanent color to cover them up and go back to a basic brown, but be careful not to choose one that's too dark again.
