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 44 Color Gels Lacquers shades, 38 exact and 6 approximate in this chart with Igora Royal. For example, Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN maps to Igora Royal's 6-0. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment.
Color Gels Lacquers writes the reflect with a double-letter family after the level (5NW = natural warm, NN = natural natural, NA = natural ash); Igora Royal uses a dash (7-1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.
