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 74 Majirel shades, 26 exact, 27 close and 21 approximate in this chart with Color Gels Lacquers. For example, Majirel's 6 maps to Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN. Natural reflects cross over best; other reflects ones need more adjustment.

Majirel writes the reflect with a dot (7.1 = ash blonde); Color Gels Lacquers uses a double-letter family after the level (5NW = natural warm, NN = natural natural, NA = natural ash). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Majirel and Color Gels Lacquers

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 74 Majirel shades, 26 have an exact equivalent in Color Gels Lacquers, 27 close and 21 approximate. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

No. Equivalences are approximate because each brand uses different pigments, bases, and concentrations. The level (1-10) is universal, but the reflect result may vary. We always recommend doing a strand test when switching brands.

It's not recommended. Each brand formulates its products with specific chemistry (pH, alkalizing agent, pigment system). Mixing brands can create unpredictable reactions and unwanted results. Always use color and developer from the same brand.

The tool shows you the closest available shade. If you need a very specific result, you can combine two shades from the target brand (for example, mixing a natural with an ash to get a soft ash). Blendsor calculates these mixes automatically.
