What tips are recommended for achieving gray coverage?

Lighten the base color
Add cool tones to the formula
Add neutral tones to the formula
Use high-lift tint only

The correct answer is: Add neutral tones to the formula

Adding neutral tones to the formula is recommended for achieving gray coverage because it will help to balance out any unwanted warmth in the hair, which can be a common issue when coloring gray hair. Option A, lightening the base color, is not recommended as it may result in a brassy or yellow tone. Option B, adding cool tones, may also result in an unwanted tone and may not fully cover the gray. Option D, using high-lift tint only, is not recommended as it may not provide enough coverage for gray hair.
