Matrix to muk
Converting a client's Matrix formula into muk? 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.
254Matrix shades in The Shade Library
69have an exact muk match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
62of 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 62 of the Matrix shades that have a muk match, the matching muk 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.
