Heads up: Illumina Color is a permanent color and Color Touch 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 33 Illumina Color shades, 29 exact and 4 approximate in this chart with Color Touch. For example, Illumina Color's 6/ maps to Color Touch's 6/0. Natural reflects cross over best; iridescent ones need more adjustment.

Illumina Color writes the reflect with a slash (7/81 = pearl blonde); Color Touch uses a slash (7/1 = medium ash blonde). Both brands write the reflect in a similar way, so reading the code across is straightforward.

Questions about Illumina Color and Color Touch

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 33 Illumina Color shades, 29 have an exact equivalent in Color Touch, 4 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.

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.

The tool shows you the closest available shade. If you need a very specific result, you can combine two shades from the target brand (for example, mixing a natural with an ash to get a soft ash). Blendsor calculates these mixes automatically.
