Pravana to Schwarzkopf

Converting a client's Pravana formula into Schwarzkopf? 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
20have an exact Schwarzkopf match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
81Pravana shades have no exact Schwarzkopf equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pravana and Schwarzkopf levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 20 of 101 Pravana shades have a Schwarzkopf shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 81, the nearest Schwarzkopf 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.
