Heads up: Dia Light / Dia Color is a demi color and Color Gels Lacquers 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, 21 exact, 53 close and 16 approximate in this chart with Color Gels Lacquers. For example, Dia Light / Dia Color's 6 maps to Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN. Natural reflects cross over best; other reflects ones need more adjustment.
Dia Light / Dia Color writes the reflect with a dot (7.1 = ash blonde); 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.
