Copic Ciao / SU color matches

Published by inkypaws at 5:45 am under Fun stuff

I have the Copic Ciao markers (4 sets) and I found good matches for most of the SU colors among my sets. The colors that I didn’t find a close match to were Perfect Plum, Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Bravo Burgandy, Bordering Blue, Close to Cocoa & Ruby Red. There are colors that are similar to most of these colors but I wouldn’t say they were close enough to call them a match.

Among my colors are a beautiful selection of browns, reds and pinks, just not a match to the above colors.

These are the color matches (very close in color) that I came up with:

Pale Plum - V95 Light Grape

Pretty in Pink - R32 Peach

Blush Blossom - E11 Barely Beige

Apricot Appeal - YR20 Yellowish Shade

Barely Banana - Y11 Pale Yellow

Certainly Celery - G21 Lime Green

Mellow Moss - BG93 Green Gray

Sage Shadow - YG63 Pea Green

Bashful Blue - B93 Light Crockery Blue

Almost Amethyst - B63 Light Hydrangea

Lavender Lace - BV02 Prune

Glorious Green - G17 Forrest Green

Green Galore - G14 Apple Green

Gable Green - YG06 Yellowish Green

Yo Yo Yellow - Y15 Cadmium Yellow

Only Orange - YR07 Cadmium Orange

Real Red - RY6 Strong Red

Orchid Opulence - V15 Mallow

Lovely Lilac - BV17 Deep Reddish Blue

Brilliant Blue - B29 Ultramarine

Tempting Turquoise - BG05 Holiday Blue

Brocade Blue - B45 Smoky Blue

Ballet Blue - B23 Phthalo Blue

Night of Navy - B39 Prussion Blue

Taken with Teal - BG49 Duck Blue

Handsome Hunter - G28 Ocean Green

Always Artichoke - G99 Olive

So Saffron - Y21 Buttercup Yellow

Regal Rose - R85 Rose Red

Rose Red - R59 Cardinal

Elegant Eggplant - V09 Violet

Old Olive - Y95 Pale Olive

Garden Green - YG67 Moss

Not Quite Navy - B97 Night Blue

Thanks so much for this Jeanne!! Ive been waiting for something like this before I decided which markers I wanted to get! I thinks you just pushed me off the fence!LOL!

Hey Jeanne
You rock! Question- Are these color matching from the 2 sets Kim @ MFT sells or are they included in all 4 sets?
Clear as mudd? LOL!
Thanks a lot

Thanks for sharing all yoru hard work. I have just ordered these markers and can’t wait.
# ematsonon 30 May 2007 at 7:50 am

You really aren’t going to stop until I order these are you?! I think I’d better just go ahead and place my order! My fear is that I won’t be able to produce anything near as nice as what you’ve posted!
# Chrison 30 May 2007 at 8:17 am

Thanks! Does this mean they match or coordinate with the copic markers. I have all the SU markers. Do the copic markers work differently? Thanks so much for all your hard work! I am just trying to figure out the difference. I would like some more markers, but don’t want to get the same colors, and this really helps. Chris

LOL,
Now I see similiar but not close to a match..That is what I get for reading ahead sometimes. Thanks!

Lauren - This list is from all 4 sets - from http://www.MFTstamps.com

Chris - The Copic markers are a different medium than the SU markers. They are alcohol based. They blend wonderfully and no streaky lines.

You rock, Jeanne! I am glad you did this. Now I don’t have to! LOL

I’d like to hear your pronunciation of Phthalo.

Jeanne, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! YOU ROCK!!! I want to order from MFT but only want to get 2 sets, now I’ll be able to order the 2 sets that together have the most SU colors.

Love your blog!

Whoa! What a sweet endeavor, Jeanne!
# Julia Staintonon 05 Jun 2007 at 3:17 am

Thanks for the great into Jeanne! This is fabulous!
# Donnaon 06 Jun 2007 at 8:22 am

How do you blend with the Copic Markers? Being alcohol based, they probably dry very quickly and don’t allow time to blend…the same way a Sharpie marker works, I am assuming… can you tell me how you blend these without streaking… would love to know how you do this so nicely.. Thanks for any info.

Wow! Thanks, Jeanne! Although by the time my Copic collection is half this size, my printed list will be well-worn, I’m sure! My collection has begun however, thanks the the Great American Scrapbook Convention recently! Yay!
