Pulp Riot to Wella

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

29have an exact Wella match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
39Pulp Riot shades have no exact Wella equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Pulp Riot and Wella levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 29 of 68 Pulp Riot shades have a Wella shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 39, the nearest Wella 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.
