Question
Will my colors look different on suede compared to glossy paper?
Answer
Yes, a little. The matte suede surface does not reflect light the way glossy stock does, so colors read deeper and slightly more muted.
- Dark, rich tones like navy, black, and burgundy look especially deep and luxurious.
- Bright neons and very light pastels can appear softer or less vivid.
- Mid-tone and saturated colors translate well.
- If your palette relies on bright accents, request a proof to see how it reads before printing.
