How different is turquoise from carribean?

[laxeash]

How different are the inks of these two colors? I don't have the in-colors cs to compare.
If I stamp off turquoise once, will it match cool carribean or is it a totally different color?

[Julesiana]

It is a different color (they coordinate nicely, though).
Cool Carribean has some grey in it.

I think someone posted a photo of a side by side comparision when cool caribbean first came out. I think the cool caribbean was lighter.

I like cool coribean better than tempting t because it coordinates better with the soft subtles and rich regals. it has more of a tang to it but still looks soft.

The Tempting Turquoise is very dark compared to Cool Caribbean. CC is like the softer counterpart to TT.

I use Cool Carribean with Taken With Teal - to me Tempting Turquoise is "off".

I have used temping turquoise stamped off once or twice and it looked ok for me with the cool carribian CS. I was going to get the cool carribian ink pad, but now its less than 6 months and it will retire.

I would liken the Cool Caribbean to a soft Tiffany blue. Very different from Tempting Turquoise.

Thanks.

Yeah, sorry I didn't realize that I linked them from there... I'll re-post them below. (all the stamping, photographing and linking was originally done by the wonderfully talented Trudee!)

Thank you so much for attaching the pictures!
From the pictures, stamping off turquoise once seems to closely match carribean?

[nbwcc]

It is pretty close, the Caribbean is greener in person though. It produces a much more consistant color to stamp full strength in the Caribbean than the stamped off color from the turquoise also (any color stamped off is hard to get consistent).

Before I got cc, I used the turquoise and stamped off, and it matched very closely to cc.

Thats OK you can still get it. Get a few packs of cardstock, inkpad, and reinker and you should be good til you get bored of the colour...go for it! I plan on doing the same before it goes away. I have one pack of paper and the pad...and will just stock up in a bit...
