Of the 97 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 29 exact, 33 close and 35 approximate in this chart with Koleston Perfect ME+. For example, Shades EQ Gloss's 06AA maps to Koleston Perfect ME+'s 6/1. Golden reflects cross over best; iridescent 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); Koleston Perfect ME+ 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.
