Sometimes your design projects begin with a color in mind. Finding the colors you want first, then moving though your paper color selection options can be a good way to get your projects into high gear easily. Our paper crafting Design Team has organized a series of papers by Color Collections highlighting Holidays and Seasons to give you some options to consider for your next project involving colored paper.

Sorting paper options with our Color Bar

It's pretty simple, pick a color grouping on our Color Bar and we'll take you to a page with numerous paper colors you want. Follow the color categories that interest you and learn more about the paper options in the those color ranges you like best. Our paper product pages will show you a lot of information from Printing and Handling hints to the paper's specifications and more about paper weight, smoothness, opacity, giving you the details you need to make the best paper buying decision.

Understand what color you're actually seeing on the screen

We provide CMYK and RGB for each of the paper colors you're viewing. The True Color Description link, on each individual product page, allows you to access your paper's color value in CMYK and RGB.  Just plug those values into your graphics program's custom color option and your desktop printer will print a fairly accurate color sample of the paper you're viewing. As well by using these values you can add the accurate color into your graphics programs for on screen presentations.

Printing out a color on your desktop is quick and reasonably accurate  And if you simply need a particular hue of a color (if say, any dark wine-red will do) this will be adequate to give you a good idea if you're viewing the right paper color for your project.  If it has to be an exact shade and hue, you'll want to order a sample.
