Substitute for Vetrofond Pajama Blue
Anyone know of a good substitute for Vetrofond's Pajama Blue? It's one of my three all-time favorite glass colors (all blue, of course!). I came a little late to the discovery that Vetrofond's stopping the glass rod production, and now I'm scrambling. 
I was thinking of making a mix of Messy Fremen and Messy Zachary, but I have neither of those two colors right now so I can't even test the theory.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

It isn't the same as Effetre 224? (Light Sky Blue)

The picture of light sky blue on Frantz's website looks more turquoise than baby blue.

It's does have a tiny bit of turquoise tinge, but not much. It's definitely a shade of baby blue.

Wow, that really does look a lot like Pajama Blue. I wonder why the swatch from Effetre looks so different.
Thanks for show me, Nette, makes me feel a lot less panicked that I'm going to lose my favorite color.

I think pajama blue is greyer than sky blue.

Messy Glacier makes a nice substitute although it is a tad more pearl gray blue. Light Sky really is the closest in 104. Bullseye Powder Blue is closer.

Hot Glass Color may still have PJ blue. I bought some over the summer and they still had a lot of it.

Aimee, it's not one of my favourites at all. But I have 75g (just over 3 rods) of it that you're welcome to.
Oh, and my Light Sky Blue is very different. Much paler and 'brighter' - kind of glows by comparison.

That's very generous of you Di! How much would the shipping be and I'd be glad to paypal that to you (unless it was a rediculous price, of course, going from Australia to Hawaii!)

It shouldn't be any more than letter rate, hopefully.
I'll melt the two full rods in half so I can just use an envelope.

My Light Sky Blue definitely looks more like Pajama Blue than what's in Frantz's pic. There is some variation from batch to batch with Effetre of course but I've not come across that shade before !

Sky blue is more brighter than pajama blue and I'm hoarding mine.

Bonnie Blue is way brighter than Pajama Blue, and it's got transparent layers so it's really streaky. I love it, but it is no Pajama Blue.
If I needed Pajama Blue, I would try mixing Effetre Sky Blue with Pearl Gray and White in a ratio of 4 parts Sky Blue to 1 part Pearl Gray and 1 part White and then tweak it as necessary.
