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 95 INOA shades, 56 exact, 29 close and 10 approximate in this chart with ChromaSilk. For example, INOA's 6 maps to ChromaSilk's 6N. Natural reflects cross over best; other reflects ones need more adjustment.
