Default A Muse Colors

For those of you who are A Muse fans and use their notecards.... Do you have a list of ink colors that match their card colors? It can be any brand of ink that you find matches/works best (Colorbox chalk, SU, etc). Thanks!

I will start a list of the ones I know:
Lime Peel - Colorbox Chalk Lime Pastel
Cabana Blue - Colorbox Chalk Ice Blue

Great thread! I just bought a bunch of the notecards...Popsicle Pink, Jasmine, Dew, Cabana Blue (band), Lime Peel (band). I have a couple that I bought from a local art store that I'm not sure of...one says French Blue - maybe it's really Bluebird. The other one is either Cabana Blue solid (I don't have the band yet to compare it with) or Celestial Blue. I can't wait to see the rest of the matches. Thanks for starting this!

I updated a few more based on what I could gather from the A Muse Cards of the week emails. The only two I know from testing them myself are the Lime and Cabana.

Unless the paper and the inks are coordinated to work together from the get-go, which is unlikely, unless you are a company like SU!, CTMH, etc.) You're basically gonna have to experiment and it will take a variety of different brands, if what you seek is as close a dead-on match as possible.

That said, here are a few more that I have found "compliment" well, but are not necessarily dead-on matches (added in red):

Jasmine - n/a
Dew - n/a
Celestial Blue - Fluid Chalk Ice Blue, possibly Versamagic Aspen Mist (but it has some greyish undertones)
Fairy Dust - Versamagic Pixie Dust
Orange Crush - Fluid Chalk Orange
Lime Peel - Colorbox Chalk Lime Pastel
Cabana Blue - Colorbox Chalk Ice Blue
Popsicle Pink - Fluid Chalk Rouge
Hawthorne - Versamagic Red Brick, possibly Fluid Chalk Terra Cotta
Fern - Colorbox Chalk Olive Pastel, Versamagic Spanish Olive
Bluebird - n/a
French Roast - Colorbox Chalk Drk Brwn, Chestnut Roan, Versamagic Jumbo Java
Surf - Versamagic Sea Breeze
Palm - Versamagic Tea Leaves
Passion - Versamagic Spring Pansy
Papaya - Colorbox Chalk Yellow Citrus, Versamagic Mango Madness
Black - any black, whichever is your fave
Swiss Red - Colorbox Chalk Warm Red
Thai Gold - Versamagic Cornucopia
Irish Green - Fluid Chalk Warm Green
TuTu Pink - Versamagic Pink Petunia
French Blue - Fluid Chalk Prussian Blue

n/a = I have yet to find a close match . . .

Hey, now, will ya' LMK if you ever find a close match for Jamine and Dew? I don't worry about perfect matching for the most part in my projects, but it would satisfy my own curosity!

Sure! I was at LSS today and noticed the Mango Madness and thought it would work with Papaya - so it is cool to see that on your list!

I think these are close or compliment well:

Bark - Close to Cocoa
Bluebird - Brocade Blue
French Roast - Chocolate Chip
Irish Green - Garden Green
Lilac - Almost Amethyst
Moss - Certainly Celery
Papaya - Summer Sun
Plum - Mauve Mist
Swiss Red - Ruby Red
Kiwi - Certainly Celery
Watermelon - Cameo Coral
Mango - Apricot
