For designer folk and paper lovers in general, it's super helpful to be familiar with Paper Source's line. Their paper contains PCW recycled content, the quality is excellent and their colors are so very versatile. I'm lucky enough to live close to a retail store and it always takes some serious self-control when I shop there.
I've been on a quest for some time, looking for the matching CYMK and/or
Pantone color codes for Paper Source's line. It turns out
that their actual color codes are proprietary and it is very
difficult to find a simple guide for color matching. I've heard that if you contact them by phone, they'll tell you that they can't provide this information.
After some trial and error with color matching, the information literally landed in my inbox. For your downloading pleasure (and in the hopes that I'm not violating some Terms of Use somewhere), a complete color guide to Paper Source's line, straight from the source itself:
Paper Source Color Chart
Keep in mind that these are not 100% accurate, but it's as close as you can get.
I really hope this helps a DIY'er or fellow stationery designer. I would love to hear how this may have helped someone!
