muk to Wella
Converting a client's muk formula into Wella? 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.
91muk shades in The Shade Library
34have an exact Wella match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
1of 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 1 of the muk shades that have a Wella match, the matching Wella 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.
