What's your favorite color paper to use?

Post by Offerd15 »

I really like to use dark colors! I almost always find myself looking at dark greens, black, and reds. What's your favorite?

If I can't find a color that suits the model I plan on folding, I pick either white or black. Of course, some paper doesn't even come colored. x]

Usually this. I prefer it in either white or black unless there's a color that really suites it (SKs phoenix, for example).

I'm to lazy to colour my paper so I just use any paper that feels good folding.

Reds and yellows. If not, then white works too.

I like most colours except red and pink. Sometimes I imagine a model in a specific colour or colour-combination another time I just take the first sheet of paper that fits the model regarding to paper size, thickness and strength without looking at the colour.

i really like the yellow pearl crumpled paper. i think some different colors of that paper fold differently and so far the best one is the yellow. i think the worst one is the pink (it gets holes very easily)
