Pravana to Pulp Riot

Converting a client's Pravana 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.

101Pravana shades in The Shade Library
32have an exact Pulp Riot match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
69Pravana shades have no exact Pulp Riot equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pravana and Pulp Riot levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 32 of 101 Pravana shades have a Pulp Riot shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 69, the nearest Pulp Riot 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.
