The present disclosure relates to a liquid agent and/or hair dye for oxidative coloring of keratinous fibers with improved color performance and nourishing effect. In an embodiment, the agent comprises, in a hydrous cosmetic carrier: (a) a fatty acid which is liquid at 20° C. and has about 16-22 carbon atoms in an amount of about 0.1-15 wt. %, (b) an alkanolamine as an alkalizing agent, selected from monoethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methylpropanol and triethanolamine, in an amount such that at least one part of the fatty acid is present as soap, (c) an oil component different from (a) in an amount of about 0.05-5 wt. %, (d) an alkylamidoamine in an amount of about 0.05-6 wt. %, and (e) an oxidation dye precursor. The agent does not contain any branched fatty alcohols having about 7 or more carbon atoms, and does not contain any fatty alcohols having a melting point of about 25° C. or higher.
