Metallic Thread Comparisons

Strictly color comaprisons between YLI/Fishhawk and Superior Metalic threads. If you happen to have either of these brands on hand and can match these up with another brand of meattlics, or if you knwo what regular Nylon color they match up with - that would suffice.

Either one have a Purple metallic that matches Gudebrod Purple Nylon? YLI = Purple, Superior = N11 Violet. Ter is also Lavender for YLI, and Mauve & Lilac for Superior.

THe Blues - i'd like to get Blues to match Gudebrod Blues (not Blue Dun). I have aTeral match already, as well as a Cobalt match. I'm looking for a light Blie, and a Medium/Dark Blue. YLI = Persian Blue. Superior = Slate, Pacific Blue, and Royal Blue.

If you guys have Sulky metallics that match wha tI'm looking for, or you know of some really neat color from Sulky I should have, please let me know. It's hard not having a color chart, and I'm not going to a craft shop any time soon.

This is the Metalic Sulky you guys use, correct? [www.sundroptextiles.com]

The problem with internet color charts - Jade Green on my computer looks Blue. Exactly why I'm asking for some help.

THis might be a little closer? [www.sulky.com]

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Anyone else have any of these colors, or even Sulky colors that they could match up for me?

RT - I'm thinking of ordering a bunch of metallics, 500 yards is a lifetime supply, maybe you wanna split 20-250 or something this way we can both get more colors for less $$$. When we know waht colors are our favorites, we can just replace them ourselves.

I'm cheap, sorry, lol.
