  • Looking for an Oracal Equivalent if poss

    Posted by Marcella Ross on 4 October 2010 at 13:58

    Can anyone tell me (if they have an Oracal translucent swatch card) if there is a colour similar to Macal 9758-03 Cyclamen in their range?
    The price difference between the two is putting me off buying the Macal!! But I still haven’t got a swatch card for Oracal
    🙁
    So if anyone can tell me if they have a simialr colour to the Macal reference that would be appreciated.

    My book is out in my truck and it’s raining.
    But I can go get it for you.
    What mactac color is this? The name isn’t very descriptive.
    Love…. Jill

    it’s a dark pink, but not a fuschia colour, slightly more of a purple tinge. No panic to go outside now Jill, I wont need to order it today anyway 😀

    bit bizarre how different the oracal swatches are in the USA than over here… would have thought all pretty similar.

    Marcella,
    Just looked at the Oracle and the Mac 9700 translucent card and yes the Oracle 041Pink is very close to Mac 9758. The Mac shade is a little brighter.

    As far as I know Rob, each distributor has to produce their own. We have swatch ‘books’ here, and I know they produced them locally, rather than get them from overseas.
