No direct equivalent in Illumina Color (3)

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

  • 1N Black
  • 3.11 Dark Intense Green Brown
  • 3.99 Dark Intense Blue Brown

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, 28 exact, 39 close and 35 approximate in this chart with Illumina Color. For example, ChromaSilk's 6N maps to Illumina Color's 6/. Ash reflects cross over best; mahogany ones need more adjustment. 3 shades have no direct equivalent in Illumina Color; 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); Illumina Color uses a slash (7/81 = pearl blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about ChromaSilk and Illumina Color

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 105 ChromaSilk shades, 28 have an exact equivalent in Illumina Color, 39 close, 35 approximate and 3 with no direct equivalent. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+). There the equivalent comes with its confidence level and a warning if the product type changes, and you can send it to the advisor to fine-tune it for your client's base, grays and porosity. Download the app.

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.
