Oracal 751 match for 3M Sapphire Blue

[cajun312]

I don't have an Oracal color chart handy, what's the closest match to 3M cast sapphire blue? The Oracal website has a crossover chart but it shows four of the 751 blues are a perfect match for sapphire.

None are really right on. It's between 536 Middle Blue and 049 King Blue. I think the King Blue is closest in Oracal

I agree. It looks like the King Blue is the closest.

Thanks a bunch, I'll try the King Blue

I have had to match this before and Traffic Blue was my choice. King Blue is too dark when you see a big piece of it compared to the little sample on the chart. imho

Though I hate to say this, I would use 3M Sapphire blue. I try to use Oracal when ever I can, but many companies seem to base their logo colors on 3M colors.

I have had the same problem matching 3M bright yellow. Oracal does not make a good match so I have to stick with the 3M.

I am not going to let a few bucks and a dislike for 3M make my colors "off" in the eyes of a customer.

If I was running Oracal, matching the industry standard colors would be a top priority. Hopefully Oracal matches are in development.

Calon has a sapphire blue which is almost identical to 3M. as another choice
