Is there a good/better way to color your hair at home

Is there any way to color your hair at home and make it look good? I'm going away this weekend and I have no time between now and than to get to a salon. I also HATE going to get my hair colored. I usually get a glaze since I only have a few grays. When I've tried to do it at home its either comes out looking orange or way too dark. Are there some type of tricks to getting it to look right or a brand that does a good job?

I swear by Loreal Excellence. It is very natural looking and makes hair super shiny.

I've been dying my hair at home for 16 years. If you're saying that it comes out orangey, look for colors that say "cool tones." Warm-tone dyes will bring out orange and red.

I am pretty casual about it though. I've had colors stray a bit from what I was expecting and don't care--I think of it as a new adventure and just go with it lol.
