Default Gina K Card Stock Comparison?

Does anyone have any Gina K card stock comparisons, especially to PTI? I'd like to see how close/different the card stock colors are.

Thanks for your help!

I just received the Gina K pure white card stock yesterday. This is really nice, heavy paper. The PTI is a bit lighter( I have the vintage cream) but still nice paper. I haven't used the Gina K paper yet, but I know this could hold up well with lot's of layering and embellishments. I like both the vintage cream and the pure white.

Gina K's red is a darker and richer red than PTI's red. PTI's is more orange-ish.

These are the only comparisons I have been able to locate. You may be able to create more by going with SU cardstock in between...GK to SU to PTI

Passionate Pink - in between Raspberry Fizz and Hibiscus
Innocent Pink - exact to Sweet Blush
Just Peachy - exact to Melon Berry
Bubblegum Pink - "pretty close" with a touch more pink to Lavender Moon
Red Hot - more brighter red to Pure Poppy
Lipstick Red - exact to SU!
Ridinghood Red
Turquoise Sea - exact to Hawaiian Shores
Ocean Mist - tiny bit bluer than Aqua Mist
Green Apple - touch lighter than Avocado
Grass Green - exact to New Leaf
Lemon drop - yellower and brighter than Lemon Tart (much prettier than Tart)
Wild Dandelion - darker than Summer Sunrise, almost exact to SU! Daffodil Delight
Dark Chocolate - darker than Dark Chocolate

Jen...I have downloaded several comparison pictures of GK papers, but they're collected from all over. I can't begin to locate all the original posts they came from. If you want me to send those to you via email, let me know by pm.
