Colors: PMS / Paper Source / Waste Not Paper

When I was prepping for my wedding last year, I was a frequent visitor of my local Paper Source stores (the retail side of Waste Not Paper) to check out paper options and colors for my invitations. The variety and paper quality at WNP/Paper Source is hard to beat; and the color pallete of their solid papers is stunning.

I use their paper and envelopes for all Kelp Design creations, and wanted to share a list of Pantone colors that coordinate with the Paper Source palette. This list was compiled through a variety of sources including an email from our friends at Paper Source. It should also be noted that WNP/Paper Source papers do not have an exact PMS matches since their colors are custom, not digitally produced, but these are suggested numbers for their PS collection.

Chartreuse: 610U or 611U
Chocolate: 476U
Curry: 7405U
Grape: 273U
Lake: 7459U or 7468U,
Moss: 582U
Night: 289U
Papaya: 171U
Plum: 523U
Poppy: 150U
Pool: 7464U,
Red: 200U
Strawberry: 191U
Violet: 270U


Hope this helps, and if you have other colors to add to the list, let me know!

If possible, do you have the closest Pantone match for the Paper Source color Gravel please? Trying to use yellow and gray for my wedding, Curry is the closest yellow to what I need. Thanks so much!
