The object of the present application is a dye carrier composition containing oxidative and/or non-oxidative dyes as well as (a) 6.1 to 25 weight percent of at least one fatty alcohol with 14 to 20 carbon atoms, (b) 1 to 20 weight percent of at least one fatty acid alkanolamide and (c) 1 to 15 weight percent of at least one fatty alcohol alkoxylate and/or fatty acid alkoxylate, the weight ratio of fatty alcohol (a) to fatty acid alkanolamide (b) being equal to 4:1 to 1:3 and at the same time the weight ratio of fatty alcohol (a) to alkoxylate (c) being equal to 5:1 to 1:2. Another object is the use of the afore-said combination of components (a) to (c) to produce a nacreous luster effect in dye carrier compositions and colorants for keratin fibers.
