I've been looking for a nice dark shade of blue colored tubing, and have found that my choices are limited to either Primochill or Feser.
I've been trying to compare shots of the two, but can't tell which is darker - in some the Primochill appears darker, while in others the Feser does.

Can anyone who has seen both in person state with certainty which is darker, both with and without UV light? Thank you.

Can't speak with UV light, but without, the Feser (Danger Den version) blue tubing is definitely a darker blue than the Primochill (Primoflex Pro LRT version). I can take some comparison pics with and without UV light this evening if that will help.

Yepp, the feser blue is very nice, and dark. I have 10' of it here sitting next to me. Dunno how UV reactive it is yet.

That'd be swell, thanks.

What'd you mean by danger den version exactly, are you implying that there's a difference if you get the tubing from dangerden.com? Or are you talking about the tubing labeled as "danger den" (has no mention that it's from Feser)?

I noticed the 1/2" Feser tubing from dangerden.com is very light and translucent from the pics: http://www.dangerden.com/store/image.php?type=D&id=471?1237929891505

The 3/8" Danger Den appears to be much darker and opaque: http://www.dangerden.com/store/image.php?type=D&id=633?1237929918601

Something along the lines of the Danger Den color, or perhaps a tad bit lighter/translucent is what I'm looking for, but hopefully in 1/2".

My Feser Blue is as dark as the one on the bottom picture.

I think the light blue was called Caribbean Blue by Feser?

I haven't got any shots of it under UV but here is the Feser UV Blue with/without UV lighting. In this picture it also shows my Feser blue Premix UV coolant.

the primochill has a better bend radius tho.

The Primochill wont glow, i was saying im assuming the regular blue will light up the same as my clear uv one.

Besides UV properties, are PrimoChill as good as Feser like tubing? I can order Primochill easier, that's why i'm asking.

If you don't care about UV then yes they are, as NaeKuh said, Primo do have a REALLY good bend radius compared to the soft feeling Feser.

if you ask me to tell ya honestly, if you dont care about the UV, go the primochill LRT.
