Default How often do you use Zimmerman colors?

Zimmerman makes some absolutely gorgeous colors that will soon no longer be available to us. I'm toying with the idea of trying to come up with colors that are as close as possible in the Reichenbach, Kugler or Gaffer line, (assuming that some wonderful soul out there hasn't already done it for me

...) to offer as substitutes for the Zimmerman frits that I currently offer.

What I'd like to know is if you guys feel that it's worth the time to do this, and if there are particular colors that you'd like matched.

I use purple rose a lot - or would if it hadn't been discontinued. It is one of my favorite colors.

I love the Coral Pink and I'm stocked up. It is such a pretty color. Has anyone used the Lilac? It looks amazing but I just can't place another order ...

there are no substitutes for the special Zimmermann colors, I wish there were! I think Reichenbach is going to be attempting reformulations, but that might take a little while.

Thanks, Val! Some of the colors can come pretty close, but ...not...quite...there... (grumble)
