And again (sigh):
"Besonders bei *nicht hoch deckenden Farben* kann es hier zu Ergebnisabweichungen kommen."
Has anybody got any idea what "nicht hoch deckenden Farben" are in this context? "Badly covering colors" gets zero Google hits :(
TIA, again.

translucent colours
Nicole is right, nicht deckend doesn't mean poor quality. See for example:
Long-lasting, translucent coloring or "staining" products yield shades close to the hair's natural color, or slightly darker, and can also add highlights. They cover up to 50% of gray but do not lighten the hair.

is a possibility, maybe? It'll depend on the tone of the rest of the writing, I guess.
Discussion
"Bei (uns) wurde vor einigen Jahren auf die Verwendung von gleichnuancigen Ausgangshaaren �bergegangen, da die Ergebnisse speziell bei den Glanzmessungen zu hohe Standardabweichungen aufwiesen. Die bei (ihnen) verwendeten Haare zeigen eine deutlich h�here Pigmentierungsbreite als �blicherweise auf dem Einzelkopf anzutreffen ist. Besonders bei *nicht hoch deckenden Farben* kann es hier zu Ergebnisabweichungen kommen."
