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 58 Color System shades, 40 exact and 18 approximate in this chart with Color Gels Lacquers. For example, Color System's 6 maps to Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN. Natural reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment.

Color System writes the reflect with a dot (7.44 = intense copper blonde; .2 = pearl/iridescent, .7 = violet); Color Gels Lacquers uses a letter family after the level: a single letter for the pure naturals (8N = Mojave, 6N = Moroccan Sand) and two letters for the rest (NN natural natural, NW natural warm, NA natural ash, GN green, AB ash blue, GB gold beige, NG gold, RO red orange). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Color System and Color Gels Lacquers

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 58 Color System shades, 40 have an exact equivalent in Color Gels Lacquers, 18 approximate. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+). There the equivalent comes with its confidence level and a warning if the product type changes, and you can send it to the advisor to fine-tune it for your client's base, grays and porosity. Download the app.

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.
