Leuchtturm1917 · Singapore & Malaysia · Colour Guide
Every Colour.
Every Foil.
Explained.
Twenty-plus colours, each suited to a different personality, workspace, and brand identity. Here's what each one is for — and exactly which foil treatment pairs best.
Leuchtturm1917 makes over 20 colours. Most buyers default to Black or Navy — and those are excellent choices. But the full range offers something for every personality, workspace, and brand identity. This guide covers every current colour: what it looks like, what it suits, how it works for corporate gifting, and which foil treatment pairs best with each.
No minimum order quantity per colour. A corporate order can be split across as many colours as needed — 15 in Navy, 15 in Cherry, 15 in Sage — with no volume penalty per colour. Pura Group ordered 11 colours in one order. The colour range is a genuine choice, not a theoretical one.
🖌️ Classic Neutrals
The definitive choice. Works with every foil colour — gold, silver, copper, and blind deboss all read sharply. The most requested corporate colour and the most popular in the range.

🌈 Colours for personal use
🎨 For bullet journalers
Bold, expressive colours — Lemon, Lilac, Cherry, Pumpkin — because the notebook is a creative object as much as a functional one. The Bullet Journal Edition is available in a curated selection of these colours.
👁️ For fountain pen users
Classic neutrals — Black, Navy, Stone Blue — where the focus is on the writing rather than the cover. For the best fountain pen paper, consider the Edition 120g.
🖌️ For art journalers
Muted tones — Sage, Powder, Dusty Rose — that complement the aesthetic of the work inside. The Edition 120g handles brush markers and light watercolour washes.
✨ For planners and productivity users
Either classic (Navy, Black) or motivational (Rising Sun, Sunflower) — the latter as a deliberate choice to make the daily planning ritual feel energising.
