No direct equivalent in The Color (1)

These Igora Vibrance shades have no comparable level-and-reflect shade in The Color. Switching ranges here means adjusting the formula, not swapping one code for another.

  • 1-0 Black Natural

Heads up: Igora Vibrance is a demi color and The Color 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 83 Igora Vibrance shades, 39 exact and 43 approximate in this chart with The Color. For example, Igora Vibrance's 6-0 maps to The Color's 6N. Natural reflects cross over best; iridescent ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in The Color; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Igora Vibrance writes the reflect with a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde); The Color uses a letter after the level (7N = medium natural blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Igora Vibrance and The Color

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 83 Igora Vibrance shades, 39 have an exact equivalent in The Color, 43 approximate and 1 with no direct equivalent. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

Yes. Inside Blendsor you'll find it in Learn → Brand converter and in the chat attach button (+). There the equivalent comes with its confidence level and a warning if the product type changes, and you can send it to the advisor to fine-tune it for your client's base, grays and porosity. Download the app.

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.
