Heads up: Illumina Color is a permanent color and Igora Vibrance 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 43 Illumina Color shades, 33 exact and 10 approximate in this chart with Igora Vibrance. For example, Illumina Color's 6/ maps to Igora Vibrance's 6-0. Ash reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment.

Illumina Color writes the reflect with a slash (7/81 = pearl blonde); Igora Vibrance uses a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Illumina Color and Igora Vibrance

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 43 Illumina Color shades, 33 have an exact equivalent in Igora Vibrance, 10 approximate. 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.
