Tombows vs SU markers

[yesipray]

I am getting back into stamping after SELLING it all (98%) ....and re-thinking buying the SU markers....
Do you know IF there is a chart out there that tells which TOMBOWS match, which SU colors?...
I am not interested in the Copics....
Any information would be appreciated.

I thought Tombow makes SU markers...at least that is what my demo told me. the color chart on the Tombow webbie is very accurate. I have almost all of the Tombows and I printed off the color chart to make a mark by it...they matched perfectly.

What I am looking for is...which Tombox marker is the equivalent to the SU marker...
My SU demonstrator wants us to use SU item in swaps, which is fair and if I knew the Tombow # or color...I could mark them to be the SU equivalant...
Hope that makes sense....

I gotcha. I don't have a chart with that info. I don't own enough stampin up stuff to compare either! The website chart is really pretty good tho...i will gladly look as I do not want to go walk or exercise or do dishes or laundry today!!!

OH wait! my demo lent me a color palette of card stock!!! I can go do it right now! Be right back after a few...

[53queenbee]

Ok--I have most of them. You would think that with over 75 markers I would have every single color! Here goes and random:

n45 basic gray
bashful blue 451
brocade blue 533
ballet blue 553
brilliant blue 555
pacific point 443
taken with teal 373
glorious green 245
old olive 98
certainly clerey 192
handsome hunter 249
green galore 173
garden green 158
sage shadow 192
chocolate chip 969
close to cocoa 992
creamy caramel 977
always artichoke 027
more mustard 026
apricot appeal 991
so saffron 020

[53queenbee]

barely banana 991
yo yo yellow 055
tango tangerine 905
only orange 925
ruby red 847
real red 856 riding hood red 847
cameo coral 885
rose red 847
perfect plum 6779
elegant eggplant 636
lavendar lace 603
almost amethyst 623
lovely lilac 623
orchid opulence 665
regal rose 722
pretty in pink 850
pink passion 725 also pixie pink very close
pink pirouette 722

some may be the same number but when you put it on that card stock it matches.

I have both Tombow and SU markers. I didn't know they had equivalents. So thanks for the post. I learned something new today so today is a good one!

[53queenbee]

I did it just now so they are not "official" but dang close!

I just started picking up tombow markers. Thanks for posting this.

I am not a demo, but that's not what I have heard.
