How close is SU's Tahitian tide to the old Turquoise?

[victorial]

I'm getting back in to cardmaking (again) and am looking to refresh my paper and ink colors. How close is SU's Tahitian tide to the old Turquoise?

Also, does Boho Blue look like Brocade Blue at all?

Pretty Peacock like Taken with Teal?

Thanks.

These are GREAT questions! Unfortunately; I don't own either of these new colors, but I'm sure someone will pop in soon with some advice.

I saved Taken with Teal and I think it is much more turquoise and brighter than Pretty Peacock, which I think is darker and greener. I did not save Tempting Turquoise or Brocade Blue to stamp comparisons.

I stamped both colors then found the cardstock. Tempting Turquoise is a tiny bit darker than Tahitian Tide, but not too much. It looks like they would play well together for a mat.

The file in post #2 of this thread might be of some help, as Diane has grouped similar colours together: fionna51's Many Lists and Charts by fionna51 at Splitcoaststampers

Island Indigo is a good substitute for Pretty Peacock. IMO

I agree. They are very close.

I use Tempting Turquoise and Brocade Blue as substitutes. They are slightly different but the differences are more noticeable with the card stock than the ink. I know SU!’s selling point is the matching of colors across products but I’m a “close enough” girl.

Lisa gave you a great comparison for Tempting Turquoise and Tahitian Tide. They are almost the same hue, are equally saturated color and Tempting Turquoise has just a smidge more black to tone the color down.

Boho Blue and Brocade Blue are almost exactly the same. Brocade just a smidge darker.

Taken with Teal and Pretty Peacock are way different. Teal is much clearer color and Peacock is very dark. If I had to put three colors next to each other that are equally dark, I would put Peacock in between Tranquil Tide (greener) and Not Quite Navy (bluer).

I have a question. Why do my Stampin Up inks pads leak?

[mac4551]

My Tempting Turquoise pad is now tearing in the middle - from too much use. I was wondering what to replace it with too... and I'll try the Tahitian Tide. I did look at the SU charts which are incredible, but I didn't see how to 'replace' older ink pads with the newer colors. Too bad Stampin Up doesn't print charts with this info for us 'older' stampers... LOL

Thanks for posting this.... Great infor

Which color and how new is the ink pad? I think some of the newer pads are very juicy.
