The ICC - international colour chart


The ICC means, if you bought a colour in the UK eg 9.7 it would be the same colour if you purchased it in America ​


Each number corresponds to a particular depth or tone​
The number before the dash relates to depth ie how light or dark the colour is​

  • The number/s after dash relates to tone or pigment added ie the colour you can see red, violet ​
  • ​The first number after dash is :- primary tone​
  • ​The second number (if any) after dash is :- secondary tone​

Navigating the numbers
The depth is always before the point or dash etc 
Tones will be after this 
Some manufacturers have 1-3 numbers representing balance of tones but the tone that sits first will always be more dominant
Some manufacturers also have letters

Using the numbering system ​

Base colours (naturals) eg 5/0, 6/0 etc can be used on their own or used for normal grey coverage ​
Double base or intense bases eg 4/00, 5/00 these are used for resistant grey coverage (this tends to be thick and coarse)​
Most manufacturers recommend up to base 9 to 100% grey coverage 
These bases can be used on their own or mixed into another shade
