Default Dark Grey Cardstock

I love the dark grey color of the card stock in the recollections neutral pack.

I just really got into loving that color after my love affair with all things kraft.

I am trying to find a place where I can purchase a solid pack of dark grey cardstock.

Everywhere I look they only have it in multipacks.

Any suggestions?

Here's a pack of dark grey, 25 sheets. Not the inexpensive price like Recollections, though:

Matte Card Stock | 8 1/2 x 11 Sheets - Cards & Pockets

I think I bought a pack of Recollections in a grey color, but not really dark, just medium grey. It was in a pack of 50 and was sitting by the kraft paper packs at Michaels.

You will pry kraft paper from my cold weak hands but I also have a love affair with gray card stock. LCI has some beautiful collections, but they aren't cheap:

Poppy, I opened your link and almost swallowed my tongue... that is some gorgeous, but expensive paper, and I would love to have some for my... ah... collection.;)

Papertrey Ink (PTI) sells a dark gray, Smokey Shadow. It is 110# cardstock, and they offer it 3 ways: a 12-pack for $3, a 25-pack for $5, and a 50-pack for $9:

https://www.papertreyink.com/paper/p...ock-12-sheets/

Yay, I finally remember how to attach thumbnails, so here are a couple of cards to give you a better idea of the color. These were made by Nichole Heady, one of the owners of PTI.

Fun Stampers Journey offers two gray choices. River stone is lighter, Rock Candy is dark.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am making a mini album. I bought 3 packs of neutrals just to get the grey I liked.

Unintentional hijack of the thread....I am not in love with grey card stock, that being said, I'm willing to be convinced. :lol: Anyway, tapped on your link and discovered the most wonderful, magical, totally awesome Woodgrain card stock!!!!! Eek!!!!! I've loaded my cart with samples of one sheet of each color just to see if they are as spectacular as they appear. THANK YOU for accidentally enabling me in my search for Woodgrain card stock! :cool:
