colour comparisons for Metamark to Avery Vinyl REF.

[Alan]

I only have an old M5 swatch but if it helps:

M5-181 Pink = 816PF Pink = MAC 9859-08

YELLOW – buttercup M5-130 = 807PF Primrose Yellow = MAC 9809-06

RED – crimson M4- 247 ???????

BLUE – ocean M5-252 = 809PF Ocean Blue = no good MACtac match.

MID GREEN M5-263 = 834PF Kelly Green = MAC 9849-10

Thanks very much Alan.

Are they accurate matches against the 800 series? or just very close.

I take it that the red/crimson is not listed? Do you think it maybe a typo error?

Hi Tim,

This is getting complicated; we have the usual double standards with names and numbers.

The first thing I have to say is that I’ve made a mistake with the ‘YELLOW – buttercup M4-235’. I mistakenly read this as (230) and that’s with new specs 😮 sorry.

On Metamark’s web site they list a Buttercup M5-131 but no listing for a 135.
M5-131 on my swatch is Sunflower and that equates to 806PF Sunflower Yellow on the Avery card.

These are good matches:
Pink M5-181 with Avery 816PF Pink
Ocean M5-152 with Avery 807PF Ocean Blue
Mid Green M5-163 with Avery 834Pf Kelly Green

The Crimson I have no reference for and it doesn’t appear on their site.

I think you’re going to need further conformation before going ahead.
