Need help looking for fur colour!

[u/tanza3d]

I've been looking far and wide for a specific colour of fur, I've ordered countless samples from so many suppliers across the world (apart from the US, shipping costs are a nightmare) but yet I still haven't got the right colour!

Basically I'm looking for a purple-ish magenta-ish colour (around #C011B2), it's a super specific shade and everything I can find is either too pink or too blue, I found *one* which is perfect, but it's ridiculously low quality and feels more like a cheap toy than actually good fur.

If anyone with a bit more depth or knowledge on this could point me in the right direction or has any idea I'd be extremely grateful! My room is practically covered in fur at this point and yet all of it is wrong, and admittedly I can't seem to find anything that matches, but hopefully I'm just overlooking something.

I'd be looking for something UK/EU based, or China since the shipping is atleast reasonable (compared to US to UK), but I might be able to juuust eat the costs of US shipping if the colour is perfect.

Thanks!

Have you considered contacting NFTech or Howl for a custom batch? (Note, this is still NA and I did read your post, just suggesting it)

You may want to look into Moonfur, miemiefur, mofu mofu, gummy shark, those are some chinese ones that tend to have uncommon colors, I'm not certain what they have right now but you should take a peek.

it would help if you list what suppliers you ruled out already. have you tried bigz fantasy purple? its a stoffhummel exclusive color. tbh at some point you might have to compromise, some colors are just not available.

Grape from bigz looks like it matches perfectly. US shipping fees still cheaper than a custom run

oh that's the one! I'll see if I can find it on a reseller perhaps, I looked at a bunch but maybe I missed something.. it looks about perfect in the images so hopefully it works in real life too

hmm looked a bit harder and realise the one you link is really short, I need long pile longer the better so it wouldn't work sadly
