Pulp Riot to Goldwell

Converting a client's Pulp Riot formula into Goldwell? 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.

43have an exact Goldwell match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
25Pulp Riot shades have no exact Goldwell equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pulp Riot and Goldwell levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 43 of 68 Pulp Riot shades have a Goldwell shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 25, the nearest Goldwell 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.
