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

02M Midnight Ash

Heads up: Shades EQ Gloss is a demi color and ChromaSilk 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, 58 exact, 47 close and 18 approximate in this chart with ChromaSilk. For example, Shades EQ Gloss's 06AA maps to ChromaSilk's 6.46. Golden reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in ChromaSilk; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Shades EQ Gloss writes the reflect with the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige); ChromaSilk uses hybrid system: naturals carry N (7N) and the rest use dot + reflect (7.44 = intense copper blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Is the converter also in the app?

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+).

Can I mix hair color from different brands?

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.
