Colour b 4 - how long before you recoloured?

I've read the instructions in the box, but am getting confused. It does say that you can recolour your hair immediately, but it also says you should wait at least a week. What did you do when you used it?

I have home-coloured hair, naturally dark brown, and have been dyeing it to cover grey. I started off using permanent colour, but it was either too dark or too red. Last time I used a semi-permanent colour, which was better, but my hair grows quite fast, and I think you can see the difference between where the semi colour is on my natural roots, and the permanent colour bit. I want to remove the permanent colour, and try again with a semi (medium ash brown, so hopefully they'll be no red in it).

The thing is, I've got a big weekend coming up, and because my roots are showing though, want to recolour tomorrow. Could I use the colourb4 tonight, and colour tomorrow, or should I try to hold off doing anything until after the weekend, and leave it a week before redyeing? I'm also a bit concerned that the colourb4 may leave my hair a different colour (well, that would be the dye, but using the colourb4 would show it), and if I leave it a week before redyeing, could have an interesting week at work in the middle.
How did you find using it?
