Colored Paper
Colored paper refers to paper that has been dyed during the production process to achieve a uniform color throughout. It is widely used in gift box packaging, greeting cards, labels, and decorative covers. Occasionally, it is also used for special book projects to create a unique and visually appealing style.
Light-colored paper can be printed using standard CMYK printing, while dark-colored paper typically requires white ink to ensure clear and legible content. In many cases, colored paper is paired with additional finishing techniques such as foil stamping, embossing, or debossing for enhanced visual effect.

Black Paper
Black paper is a category of dyed-through paper known for its rich, deep tone and excellent opacity. Compared to standard coated or uncoated white paper, black paper has higher opacity and a non-reflective surface, making it suitable for special print techniques such as white ink printing.
A black paper book is especially well-suited to publications with a dark visual style, such as those with gothic, horror, or other shadow-heavy themes.
