Of the 20 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 10 exact, 5 close and 5 approximate in this chart with Color Touch. For example, Shades EQ Gloss's 06N maps to Color Touch's 6/0. Natural reflects cross over best; red ones need more adjustment.

Shades EQ Gloss writes the reflect with the tonal-family letter after a zero-padded level (07N = natural, V = violet, NB = natural beige); Color Touch uses a slash (7/1 = medium ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Common questions when converting between these brands

How many Shades EQ Gloss shades have an exact equivalent in Color Touch?

Of the 20 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 10 have an exact equivalent in Color Touch, 5 close and 5 approximate. The level (1-10) is universal; what varies is the reflect.

Are brand equivalences exact?

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.

Can I mix hair color from different 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.

What if the exact shade doesn't exist in the other 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.
