I am down to a few scraps of Kiwi Kiss cardstock and I'm looking for something that's a close match. I still have bunches of Kiwi Kiss patterned paper so I'd like to find something that would match it pretty well. I was looking at PTI Simply Charteuse but it's so hard to tell on the computer what the true color is. Does anyone know of a cardstock that's very similar to Kiwi Kiss? Thanks in advance for your help!

I love Kiwi Kiss and miss it too! I ordered some simply chartreuse from PTI and have found it to be an acceptable substitute. It's not spot-on but for me, it coordinates well with the ink and the ribbon I still have left.
Maybe put an ISO on the ISO forum. You never know, there may be some SU demo that has loads and wants to move it!! That's how I found some Berry Bliss DP.
I have Kiwi and PTI Chartreuse...and they are so close that I would never notice if they got mixed up in my drawers. There is less difference between the two colors than I have seen between batches of the same color from SU.
I would get the Chartreuse and enjoy being able to continue to have a fave color!
I too LOVE this color. Bright colors just seem to be my thing. I posted a comparison photo on older string about this color. If you put the paper stacks next to each you can see a slight difference in the amount of yellow, but otherwise, it would be very hard to tell the difference. I've had no problem using PTI paper with SU designer paper.
There is a colour in the new Recollections line that is pretty close to Kiwi Kiss. Its darker, but the same colour. The Recollections cardstock is 65lb so its not quite as heavy as SU, but it is a good weight for layering. I've attached a comparison of the two colors. I recently made this card with this colour:
Thanks everyone for all your help. SCS is the best place ever!
ttemby: thanks for the offer, but I think I'd rather try and get a full package. I think I may have found some, but if it falls through, I'll pm you.

I totally agree with earlier posters...Simply Chartreuse by Papertrey Ink is a close and almost exact shade as Kiwi Kiss.

Our demo said in an email that one of our club stampers, who loves Kiwi Kiss, will "flip" over one of the new in colors. Hmmmm!
Woo hoo! Not too long until the big reveal. Thanks for the heads up!

Oooh, the talk about the new In Colors has started! But back to Kiwi Kiss, that PTI color looks spot on as a match. I never used KK much when it was available, so of course NOW I want to!
I really miss Kiwi Kiss...
