Banbury Cake
Explanation:
this is a pure guess that the spelling is wrong and it's referring to the colours in this cake

You'll have to go back to the client as obviously there is some misspelling here with "shinny"=shiny already spotted by CCS

glad to have helped; certainly an interesting comparison, hair colour and cake! BTW "Banbury" on its own is OK in UK English.

neutral  Tony M: But how does that relate to its use here as a countable noun, and in the context of colours?

  -> sorry, I thought it may refer to an SPA treatment. Bamboree is a cooking stuff, then, a sort of blu/ grey I think

  -> it's only a guess but there is a "hint of blue" in the darks. Very dark hair described as "blue-black" and this is chocolate-brown colour with other tones so, in terms of colours it fits:-)
