Color Challenges

So I've been wanting to do some of the color challenges and the Bella color challenges on SCS. Unfortunately they do them all in SU colors so I composed a list of the colors and how they compare to ours as best as I could. I thought if I needed them, someone else might need them as well. I had seen a list like this a month or so back but can't seem to find it now :S. Anyway here it is. I also found an SU color combo guide done by the same gal who did the CTMH one if you want to see the colors :D http://www.scraptitude.com/colorcombo/
