What does this hair dye mean?

I bought this new hair dye im planning to do my hair with. Its called Light Ash brown. What does the Ash do? I have seen it named in other hair products, does it do anything specific?

Update:

my hair is naturally light brown, but i dyed it red so my hair is a light red, hope the ash gets rid of it!

    Ash hair color always begins with green. So if you want to eliminate gold or red tones in your hair you will want to choose an ash hair color. The box or bottle will have an A behind the number meaning ash. Some manufacturers will say ash right on the box to make it easier to understand the lingo. The green base color (ash) is used to counter any red or gold tints you would like to get rid of in your hair before or after coloring. Since green calms down the red in your hair as it does on the color wheel.

    Nope! Ash is just a color. It's basically saying "Light, Soft Brown"

    uhhhhhh.

    don't get ash.

    a lot of the time it turns your hair a weird color.

    i used a " light ash brown " on my blonde hair

    and it turned it grey.
