Heads up: Color Gels Lacquers 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 69 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 40 exact, 18 close and 10 approximate in this chart with Dia Light / Dia Color. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 8AB maps to Dia Light / Dia Color's 8.1.

Color Gels Lacquers writes the reflect with 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); 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.
