Heads up: The Color 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 21 The Color shades, 17 exact and 4 close in this chart with Dia Light / Dia Color. For example, The Color's 6N maps to Dia Light / Dia Color's 6. Ash reflects cross over best; red ones need more adjustment.

The Color writes the reflect with a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde); 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.

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.
