KEVIN.MURPHY to Goldwell

Converting a client's KEVIN.MURPHY formula into Goldwell? 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.

124KEVIN.MURPHY shades in The Shade Library

54have an exact Goldwell match: same depth, same reflects in the same order

70KEVIN.MURPHY shades have no exact Goldwell equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

KEVIN.MURPHY and Goldwell levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 54 of 124 KEVIN.MURPHY shades have a Goldwell shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 70, the nearest Goldwell shade changes the result, and knowing that before you mix saves a correction.

Sample conversions

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