Heads up: Igora Vibrance is a demi color and Color Gels Lacquers 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 16 Igora Vibrance shades, 15 exact and 1 approximate in this chart with Color Gels Lacquers. For example, Igora Vibrance's 6-0 maps to Color Gels Lacquers's 6NN. Natural reflects cross over best; copper ones need more adjustment.

Igora Vibrance writes the reflect with a dash (7-1 = medium 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 Igora Vibrance and Color Gels Lacquers

Common questions when converting between these brands

Of the 16 Igora Vibrance shades, 15 have an exact equivalent in Color Gels Lacquers, 1 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.
