I used to do an overall color to cover grey and highlights. I grew weary of the roots every three weeks and decided to go grey. Also, my hair wouldn't hold the "box" color any more. Took about 8 mos to totally grow out as I have shoulder length hair. Benefits: no hair color $$ and your hair grows in silky smooth just like when you were younger. Downside for me was that it grew in with lots of different colors and of course, the grey centered around my face. Not the color of the beautiful models on the "Going Grey" websites. Plus, I just felt older when I looked in the mirror.
My stylist came up with the idea of foregoing the overall color and adding two tones of highlights. It blends with the greys and the roots are almost unnoticeable. I can go 6 mos without recoloring and the sun doesn't fade the color.
Just my solution. Might work for you.
