use a color toner, something with an ash base. the ash in the color tones down the orange. make sure not to leave on as long as regular time allows...check in 4 min. to see if u have the desired color. check every couple of min. after that...how u check is to wipe a small area off w/a towel and look at it. rub other hair to cover again, if not ready.
don't use a very dark color/toner. and, make sure to condition after also. a good trick to a deep conditioning treatment is to put a plastic cap, or plastic grocery bag will work too. leave on for about 30 min.

Honestly there is nothing natural you can do to tone it down. You can try shampoo that is made for blondes to help tone down brassiness. Usually Sally's Beauty Supply has one by Clairol. It sounds as if you did not leave the color on long enough or you were trying to go too light, go to a beauty supply store and ask them what type of toner you could use to keep from further bleaching your hair which will cause more damage. If you try to go back dark, be careful because now you are dealing with processed hair and it will not turn the color that is on the box. Good luck...next time be careful and if your hair is really dark, and you are trying to go really light, you need to do it gradually in stages so you will not experience the orange tint, or let a licenced professional do it.

If you did it yourself, Shame on you. If you got at a salon, chance stylists. Bleached, orangie hair colour is due to underprocessing. Bleached hair also tends to be limp and fragile. I highly recommend that you apply a deep conditioner and leave it on for about twenty minutes. Rinse it with cool water or you will damage your hair further.
Next, have a REPUTABLE stylist at a REPUTABLE salon take care of the colour part. Ask for referrals at Wella. com, or Redken. com for a great salon with a great stylist that will take care of you. Do not settle for less. Beauty is not as expensive as you might think.
Mr. M on bleached and orangie.

You were a brunette, right? listen to this. i have my share of orange blonde and sadly the only solution is to re-color with a dark/mild brown shade. Next time, go to a salon to get bleached out, they do wonders and don't charge an arm and a leg.

You must have dark hair naturally. That is what happens when you do that. Go to your salon and have them correct it. If you try to do it yourself you will damage your hair even more and it will break off. Or go back to the store and try to get your own color and do it but best advice is GO TO THE SALON.

The color will tone down if you use a shampoo from salons that is colored purple. it tones down the brassiness and women with silvery gray hair use it too.

I read in Cosmopolitan magazine that for blondish hair you should use Lemonade Kool Aid powder in your shampoo. (for red heads-Cherry and for brunettes- coffee grounds)
