Heads up: Shades EQ Gloss is a demi color and Topchic is permanent. 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 124 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 55 exact, 45 close and 24 approximate in this chart with Topchic. For example, Shades EQ Gloss's 06AA maps to Topchic's 6KR. Copper reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment.

Shades EQ Gloss writes the reflect with the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige); Topchic uses a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde). Both brands write the reflect in a similar way, so reading the code across is straightforward.
