Pulp Riot to Pravana

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

68Pulp Riot shades in The Shade Library

32have an exact Pravana match: same depth, same reflects in the same order

36Pulp Riot shades have no exact Pravana equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pulp Riot and Pravana levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 32 of 68 Pulp Riot shades have a Pravana shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 36, the nearest Pravana 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.
