Heads up: SoColor Pre-Bonded is a permanent color and Dia Light / Dia Color 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 101 SoColor Pre-Bonded shades, 44 exact, 38 close and 19 approximate in this chart with Dia Light / Dia Color. For example, SoColor Pre-Bonded's 6N maps to Dia Light / Dia Color's 6. Other reflects reflects cross over best; iridescent ones need more adjustment.
SoColor Pre-Bonded writes the reflect with a letter after the level, US scale one level higher than European (7N = dark blonde neutral, A = ash); Dia Light / Dia Color uses a dot (7.1 = ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
