No direct equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss (1)

These ChromaSilk shades have no comparable level-and-reflect shade in Shades EQ Gloss. Switching ranges here means adjusting the formula, not swapping one code for another.

1N Black

Heads up: ChromaSilk is a permanent color and Shades EQ Gloss 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 105 ChromaSilk shades, 54 exact, 38 close and 12 approximate in this chart with Shades EQ Gloss. For example, ChromaSilk's 6N maps to Shades EQ Gloss's 06N. Natural reflects cross over best; mahogany ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

ChromaSilk writes the reflect with hybrid system: naturals carry N (7N) and the rest use dot + reflect (7.44 = intense copper blonde); Shades EQ Gloss uses the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Is the converter also in the app?

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+).

Can I mix hair color from different brands?

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.
