KEVIN.MURPHY to L'Oréal

Converting a client's KEVIN.MURPHY formula into L'Oréal? 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

53have an exact L'Oréal match: same depth, same reflects in the same order

71KEVIN.MURPHY shades have no exact L'Oréal equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

KEVIN.MURPHY and L'Oréal levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 53 of 124 KEVIN.MURPHY shades have a L'Oréal shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 71, the nearest L'Oréal 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.
