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 152 Koleston Perfect ME+ shades, 53 exact, 54 close and 36 approximate in this chart with ChromaSilk. For example, Koleston Perfect ME+'s 6/0 maps to ChromaSilk's 6N. Natural reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment. 9 shades have no direct equivalent in ChromaSilk; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Koleston Perfect ME+ writes the reflect with a slash (7/1 = medium ash blonde); 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.

Common questions when converting between these brands

How many Koleston Perfect ME+ shades have an exact equivalent in ChromaSilk?

Of the 152 Koleston Perfect ME+ shades, 53 have an exact equivalent in ChromaSilk, 54 close, 36 approximate and 9 with no direct equivalent. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

Are brand equivalences exact?

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.

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.

What if the exact shade doesn't exist in the other 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.
