Not really. Henna is always red, sometimes it may be a little more
orange, or brown, but the difference in pure henna is so slight
that's it's negligible (I've found). However, since it's a
translucent dye, your own hair color (or skin color) is going to
affect overall color of the henna once it's applied. Most of the
things that can be added to henna to "push" the color toward a
certain shade have subtle effects, since there aren't many things
that can safely be added and will give permanent or semi-permanent
color. In all truth two different hennas will not have the same
exact color, but it will be almost exactly the same, just as two
peaches from different places won't taste exactly the same, but
they'll both taste like peaches.
