With permanent dyes, err to the side of lighter then you think your natural color is and use an ash. The permanents tend to grip better and go a little darker on porous (i.e. previously bleached) hair. Besides, it's more natural looking to have your roots grow in darker than your ends. If the ends are darker than the roots, it looks racoony. Ash will neutralize the reddish color of the hair. Permanent dyes will have a more caustic smell than the semi-permanents. If you have a major event to attend, do the dyeing at least a few days before, to give the color time to "normalize" (i.e. fade a bit).

If you want to risk a permanent fix (and you have really short hair that will grow out pretty soon anyway):
