It depends on how dark your current color is and how light you want to go. Try using 30 volume. It's strong enough to do the job but won't kill your hair the same way a stronger developer would, as long as it's used properly. If you're hesitant, try seeing a stylist.

I would use at least 20 volume, since you're going for a lighter color. Good luck!
