How to read the match: Exact = same level and same reflect · Close = same level, same reflect family · Approximate = same level in natural, or adjacent level with the same reflect. Hover each badge for that row's reason.

Of the 109 Topchic shades, 50 exact, 45 close and 12 approximate in this chart with ChromaSilk. For example, Topchic's 6N maps to ChromaSilk's 6N. Natural reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment. 2 shades have no direct equivalent in ChromaSilk; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Topchic writes the reflect with a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde); ChromaSilk uses hybrid system: naturals carry N (7N) and the rest use dot + reflect (7.44 = intense copper blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Is the converter also in the app?

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+).

Can I mix hair color from different brands?

It's not recommended. Each brand formulates its products with specific chemistry (pH, alkalizing agent, pigment system). Mixing brands can create unpredictable reactions and unwanted results. Always use color and developer from the same brand.
