Fashion forecaster guides new colors for Curious Translucents and Metallics

Press release from the issuing company

Kimberly, Wis. -- 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% 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% 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
- Blueprint - a saturated, violet-blue
- Chocolate & Shadow - for perfect pairing with the new Metallics
These seven, new colors join the nine, existing colors to bring the total offering to 16.
