Default SU Cucumber Crush vs PTI New Leaf

To me these cardstock colors look similar online but I do not have them in person to do a comparison. Does anyone happen to have both brands of cardstock and care to share a pic? I've searched the googler and I keep getting smoothie recipes. LOL!

I don't have the PTI product. On my screen, their color looks more like Old Olive. Cucumber Crush is brighter and not as yellow.

this is funny because when I saw Cucumber Crush I immediately thought of Ranger Distress Mowed Lawn! Whatever, I like it!


Oh, and PTI New Leaf is much brighter than SU Old Olive.

Yeah. New Leaf is one of the colors that I consider close to a "true" green. But I didn't think cucumber looked much like it on the screen.

I do have some New Leaf and it is much closer to Gumball Green. It's lighter but seems to be the same amount of yellowishness. The yellow is definitely there.

But I'm seeing Cucumber Crush as less yellow. Definitely. But it is about as clear in its color as New Leaf. Not at all grayed out.

I like the new colors much more in person than I thought I would.

Thank You! To the OP, I would say that PTI New Leaf is very similar to SU Wild Wasabi. Therefore, it is not like the new Cucumber.
