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 101 SoColor Pre-Bonded shades, 28 exact, 38 close and 35 approximate in this chart with Color System. For example, SoColor Pre-Bonded's 6N maps to Color System's 6. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment.

SoColor Pre-Bonded writes the reflect with a letter after the level, US scale one level higher than European (7N = dark blonde neutral, A = ash); Color System uses a dot (7.44 = intense copper blonde; .2 = pearl/iridescent, .7 = violet). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about SoColor Pre-Bonded and Color System

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 101 SoColor Pre-Bonded shades, 28 have an exact equivalent in Color System, 38 close and 35 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.
