Converting a client's Goldwell formula into KEVIN.MURPHY? The Shade Library matches shades by verified depth and ordered reflects, not by the number printed on the tube. Here's how the two ranges line up.
Goldwell and KEVIN.MURPHY levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 72 of 180 Goldwell shades have a KEVIN.MURPHY shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 108, the nearest KEVIN.MURPHY shade changes the result, and knowing that before you mix saves a correction.
The straightforward ones: standard natural shades where both brands print the same level. Any chart gets these right.
