Inebrya to Joico

Converting a client's Inebrya formula into Joico? 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.

57Inebrya shades in The Shade Library

25have an exact Joico match: same depth, same reflects in the same order

15of those matches sit at a different level than the numbers suggest

Why a same-number chart gets these wrong

Brands don't calibrate their levels the same way. For 15 of the Inebrya shades that have a Joico match, the matching Joico shade carries a different level on the tube. A chart that swaps like-for-like numbers would send you to the wrong depth for every one of them. The Shade Library maps each shade to a standard depth and reflect structure first, then finds the equivalent.

Sample conversions

The straightforward ones: standard natural shades where both brands print the same level. Any chart gets these right.
