Formulation for Success

The Schwarzkopf Professional color system is based on a combination of up to three numbers.

  • 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.
