Heads up: Color System is a permanent color and Shades EQ Gloss is demi. Coverage, longevity and the final result will differ: adjust the service, not just the shade.

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 56 Color System shades, 38 exact, 6 close and 10 approximate in this chart with Shades EQ Gloss. For example, Color System's 6 maps to Shades EQ Gloss's 06N. Golden reflects cross over best; mahogany ones need more adjustment. 2 shades have no direct equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Color System writes the reflect with a dot (7.44 = intense copper blonde; .2 = pearl/iridescent, .7 = violet); Shades EQ Gloss uses the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Color System and Shades EQ Gloss

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 56 Color System shades, 38 have an exact equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss, 6 close, 10 approximate and 2 with no direct equivalent. 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.

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.

The tool shows you the closest available shade. If you need a very specific result, you can combine two shades from the target brand (for example, mixing a natural with an ash to get a soft ash). Blendsor calculates these mixes automatically.
