Paul Mitchell to Moroccanoil

Converting a client's Paul Mitchell formula into Moroccanoil? 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.

Why a same-number chart gets these wrong

Brands don't calibrate their levels the same way. For 1 of the Paul Mitchell shades that have a Moroccanoil match, the matching Moroccanoil 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.
