No direct equivalent in INOA (1)

These Color Touch shades have no comparable level-and-reflect shade in INOA. Switching ranges here means adjusting the formula, not swapping one code for another.

2/8 Black Pearl

Heads up: Color Touch is a demi color and INOA 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 101 Color Touch shades, 58 exact and 42 approximate in this chart with INOA. For example, Color Touch's 6/0 maps to INOA's 6. Ash reflects cross over best; matte ones need more adjustment. 1 shade has no direct equivalent in INOA; those cases need a formula adjustment, not a code swap.

Color Touch writes the reflect with a slash (7/1 = medium ash blonde); INOA uses a dot (7.1 = ash blonde). The level (1-10) stays the same; what changes when converting is how the reflect is written.

Questions about Color Touch and INOA

Common questions when converting between these brands

How many Color Touch shades have an exact equivalent in INOA?

Of the 101 Color Touch shades, 58 have an exact equivalent in INOA, 42 approximate and 1 with no direct equivalent. 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.
