Schwarzkopf to muk

Converting a client's Schwarzkopf formula into muk? 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
31have an exact muk match: same depth, same reflects in the same order
183Schwarzkopf shades have no exact muk equivalent

Why a same-number chart is not enough

Schwarzkopf and muk levels line up, but their reflect structures don't always. Only 31 of 214 Schwarzkopf shades have a muk shade with the same depth and the same reflects in the same order. For the other 183, the nearest muk 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.
