Spectrum Noir and Stampin' Up! colours....

As promised here is the list of Spectrum noir pens that are compatible with Stampin' Up! colours. its a PDF document. I have listed the 'best match' which is the colour that goes best with the cardstock colour rather than the ink or pen colour - the ink colours tend to be slightly darker I find, and if you are colouring in an image to layer onto paper or cardstock then its more likely you will want to match your colours to the cardstock and paper and not the ink colour. Some colours do not have a 'best match' (mainly the purples!) but most of them do. I have also given 2 other choices that tone with the SU! colour - they could be very similar, or lighter or darker - but work well with the SU! cardstock colour. The value in brackets before each number denotes whether the pen colour is from a 6 pack (6) or one of the boxed sets of pastels (P), brights (B), darks (D) or lights (L) so you can locate the pen colour easily. I have also uploaded a scanned copy of the list I printed and marked with the colours under the names/numbers. Obviously as its a scan its not perfect colour rep, but it gives you an idea of the way I considered the colours.

Obviously this is my own interpretation, you may have other ideas!
