Heads up: INOA is a permanent color and Shades EQ Gloss is demi. Coverage, longevity and the final result will differ: adjust the service, not just the shade.
How to read the match: Exact = same level and same reflect · Close = same level, same reflect family · Approximate = same level in natural, or adjacent level with the same reflect. Hover each badge for that row's reason.
Of the 35 INOA shades, 31 exact, 2 close and 1 approximate in this chart with Shades EQ Gloss. For example, INOA's 6 maps to Shades EQ Gloss's 06N. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in Shades EQ Gloss; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.
INOA writes the reflect with a dot (7.1 = ash blonde); Shades EQ Gloss uses the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
