KEVIN.MURPHY to Pravana

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

34have an exact Pravana match: same depth, same reflects in the same order

90KEVIN.MURPHY shades have no exact Pravana equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

KEVIN.MURPHY and Pravana levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 34 of 124 KEVIN.MURPHY shades have a Pravana shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 90, the nearest Pravana 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.
