Heads up: Dia Light / Dia Color is a demi color and The Color is permanent. 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 90 Dia Light / Dia Color shades, 17 exact, 37 close and 35 approximate in this chart with The Color. For example, Dia Light / Dia Color's 6 maps to The Color's 6N. Natural reflects cross over best; other reflects ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in The Color; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.
Dia Light / Dia Color writes the reflect with a dot (7.1 = ash blonde); The Color uses a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
