KEVIN.MURPHY to Pulp Riot

Converting a client's KEVIN.MURPHY formula into Pulp Riot? 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

56have an exact Pulp Riot match: same depth, same reflects in the same order

68KEVIN.MURPHY shades have no exact Pulp Riot equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

KEVIN.MURPHY and Pulp Riot levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 56 of 124 KEVIN.MURPHY shades have a Pulp Riot shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 68, the nearest Pulp Riot 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.
