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, 56 exact and 13 approximate in this chart with Igora Royal. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 6GN maps to Igora Royal's 6-31. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment.
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); Igora Royal uses a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
