is manila a color
A stack of Manila paper. Manila paper is a relatively inexpensive type of paper, generally made through a less refined process than other types of paper. It is typically made from semi-bleached wood fibres. It is not as strong as kraft paper but has better printing qualities. Manila is buff-coloured and the fibres are usually visible to the naked eye. Because this paper is generally inexpensive, it is commonly given to children for making art. Manila paper was originally made out of old Manila Hemp ropes which were extensively used on ships, having replaced true hemp.
