Heads up: Color Gels Lacquers is a permanent color and Color Touch 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 44 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 33 exact and 11 approximate in this chart with Color Touch. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN maps to Color Touch's 6/0. Golden reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment.
Color Gels Lacquers writes the reflect with a double-letter family after the level (5NW = natural warm, NN = natural natural, NA = natural ash); Color Touch uses a slash (7/1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
