Brands of Ink Color similar to SU Blackberry bliss??
I am looking for a color ink from any quality brand that is a very close match to Stampin UP's BLACKBERRY BLISS. I love Catherine pooler and Gina K but It is hard to see the exact colors online. Does anyone have anything that they think is the same as Stampin' Ups Blackberry bliss they can recommend to me?
Hmm I remember someone had a chart that compared SU colors to another product line but I don't remember what it was. Copic markers? Fionna might know. I checked under product focus in the tutorials but no go.
Blackberry Bliss/Copic ... I have a couple of charts that show the best Copic markers for SU colors. Blackberry Bliss is listed as RV99 Copic matching. This is a pretty true match (some are not).
If you are looking for an ink pad, obviously this won't help you, but if you want the actual ink, you can purchase the Copic ink refill for around $6.00
If I understand Denise's request, you are looking for a stamp pad (or refill) that would give you the closest match to SU Blackberry Bliss.
I do a lot of color evaluation, but since I don't buy every color in every brand I can't compare SU to very many colors.
However, looking at samples online, I might suggest that you try Versafine Clair in Monarch. It looks like it is really similar to the SU Blackberry Bliss. I can't say that it is a perfect match, but there is not a lot available in that dark purple range, and the Clair line is all dark. However, it is not a dye ink, it is pigment ink. So you could NOT re-ink a SU ink pad with Clair re-inkers. It would work, though, if you were looking for a new stamp pad in that color.
I looked at several of my go-to brands when I give up on an SU! color and I have not found anything like Blackberry Bliss. I would call it a dark purple/red and everything I've seen is straight up purple or burgundy. I guess that color is not "in" right now. Good luck with your search!

If you are concerned about a good match, it might be easier and less expensive in the long run to just buy a Stampin Up Blackberry Bliss ink pad, or get the reinker and make your own pad. It is not a retired color, so it is available to purchase.

I have the Versafine Clair Monarch pad, and I also have the SU! Blackberry Bliss. Monarch is not as dark as Blackberry Bliss and doesn't have the red undertones, so I wouldn't consider it a good replacement.

Thank you, I do have the ink pad but not liking the quality. I love the color but thought I might find another brand that will last longer. Thank you, I might get an uninked pad and make my own as I have the reinker. Thanks for the idea!
