Pravana to L'Oréal

Converting a client's Pravana formula into L'Oréal? 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.

101Pravana shades in The Shade Library
36have an exact L'Oréal match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
65Pravana shades have no exact L'Oréal equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pravana and L'Oréal levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 36 of 101 Pravana shades have a L'Oréal shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 65, the nearest L'Oréal 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.
