These are our 10 standard ink colors:
Black Yellow (Pantone)
Red (PMS 185) Green (PMS 347)
Reflex Blue Brown (PMS 478)
Light Blue (Process) Gold (Metallic Gold 873)
Bordeaux (PMS 208) Teal (PMS 321)
Orange (PMS 165)
PMS Color Match: $40.00 for non-standard inks

All colors but Black and Gold are semi-transparent, meaning that the other nine inks may have a slight color shift if printed on a paper stock that has vivid color. (For example: Either of the Blue inks printed on Canary Cambric, Yellow Plate or Yellow Astrobright will give the ink a Greenish tint. Likewise, Yellow ink on any Astrobright paper will drastically change the final color of the ink). 
Therefore, Astrobrights are recommended only for use with Black ink and one should exercise caution when choosing ink colors for Canary Cambric and Yellow Plate. The rest of the other colored papers are safe with any ink, with any color variance not being noticeable.

Note:  Due to differences in monitors, colors of samples may not be 100% accurate, so please be aware of this when ordering.
