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 72 Majirel shades, 28 exact, 32 close and 12 approximate in this chart with Color Gels Lacquers. For example, Majirel's 6 maps to Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN. Natural reflects cross over best; other reflects ones need more adjustment.

Majirel 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.

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.
