Schwarzkopf to KEVIN.MURPHY
Converting a client's Schwarzkopf formula into KEVIN.MURPHY? 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.
214Schwarzkopf shades in The Shade Library
51have an exact KEVIN.MURPHY match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
163Schwarzkopf shades have no exact KEVIN.MURPHY equivalent
Why a same-number chart is not enough
Schwarzkopf and KEVIN.MURPHY levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 51 of 214 Schwarzkopf shades have a KEVIN.MURPHY shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 163, the nearest KEVIN.MURPHY 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.
