Heads up: Shades EQ Gloss is a demi color and Koleston Perfect ME+ is permanent. 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 124 Shades EQ Gloss shades, 42 exact, 47 close and 35 approximate in this chart with Koleston Perfect ME+. For example, Shades EQ Gloss's 06G maps to Koleston Perfect ME+'s 6/3. Golden reflects cross over best; iridescent 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); Koleston Perfect ME+ 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.
