Advice on blending natural pregnancy-related hair colour change at home

Advice needed on which semi-permanent products could help blend my pregnancy hair colour change please.
I've naturally auburn hair and it does tend to get lighter in the sun, but it grew many shades lighter during pregnancy and I didn't even realise how much until 1 year post partum, and I have this very definite line of regrowth, now halfway down my hair. The ends look like a golden/ brassy blonde. This is all completely natural colour, I haven't dyed my hair in many years.
I'm looking for something like a gloss or semi permanent colour that could help blend this line while it grows out. I'm wary of anything that's too coppery as I think it could be far too orange. Can anyone help with what colour or brand would give a good result please? I'm not looking for perfection, just improvement :)
Two photos attached in slightly different lighting.
I realise that I'll get a far better result going to a salon, but i can't stretch to that financially at the moment, so i need at at home solution.
Thank you!

I think it looks fine, like a balayage
