using color on toned paper

When I tried my new Grow Untamed palette out on both this toned Nideggen paper and on some white watercolor paper, I noted that these particular colors work much better on the white paper. So I did test blobs of all my watercolors on the back pages of my journal, including two more colors from Letter Sparrow which just arrived in the mail: quin. magenta and Paris green just because I love cool red and turquoise. I love how black inks and white gouache look on this toned paper, and brighter colors add a rich “pop” to sketches. I may change my style of sketching while working in this journal.
