Fashion forecaster guides new colors for Curious Collection’s Translucents and Metallics
100% PCW content available for Metallics’ four, most-popular sheets
Green Power now a standard feature for Metallics & Translucents

New Curious Collection Metallics and Translucents colors were developed in consultation with Li Edelkoort of Studio Edelkoort in New York and Paris. Eleven new, fashion-forward colors were added to Curious Metallics and seven colors were added to Curious Translucents. Beyond these expanded color choices, four of the most-popular Metallics sheets now are available in 100 percent post-consumer recovered fiber (PCW) content. Also newly announced is Green Power as a standard feature for the Metallics and Translucents lines (renewable energy in the form of wind, hydro, and biogas).

Curious Metallics‘ new, fashion-inspired colors include:

* Super Gold – a shimmery, saturated gold
* Mandarin – a beautifully subtle orange
* Cognac – a warm, medium brown
* Olive and Lime – two shades of green for a fresh, environmental flavor
* Red Lacquer – the current “lipstick red”
* Chocolate and Shadow – the new “blacks”
* Ink and Blueprint – two hues of nautical and classic blues
* Violette – a current take on plum and purple

From the new total of 23 colors featured in Curious Metallics, four are offered with 100 percent PCW:
* Ice Gold Recycled
* Ice Silver Recycled
* Gold Leaf Recycled
These products are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and available in both 80-pound text and 111-pound cover weights.

Curious Translucents‘ eye-catching additions include:

* Spring – a sure-to-be-popular, bright green shade
* Flame – the warm side of red
* Red Lacquer – the cool side of red
* Steel – a “renaissance-rich” blue
