The number in front of the dash indicates the color level of the shade and the ideal base to use the shade on in order to achieve true-to-swatch results.
The first number after the dash shows the primary color tone direction.
The second number after the dash shows the secondary color tone direction.
Two identical numbers after the dash indicate an intense color.
