The story
Colors Metallic is the dressed-up sibling of Gmund Colors Matt, twelve shades with the same numbers so you can pair a shimmering cover with a matt insert in the matching hue. The pigment load is high and the surface carries a fine emboss, so the sheet glows rather than glitters. It is a natural choice for wedding suites, holiday cards and confectionery boxes. Keep artwork simple, let one foil or a white ink do the talking, and give the ink proper drying time.
