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.
Shop Black →
Deep, authoritative, and universally appropriate. The most requested corporate gifting colour after Black. Matt silver hot stamping on Navy is one of the most elegant combinations in the range.

A greyish-blue neutral — the successor to the discontinued Anthracite. Understated and professional. For those who want something serious that isn't quite Black or Navy.

A deep teal-blue — the successor to Pacific Green in the range. Rich and distinctive, sitting between Navy and green. Suits hospitality, sustainability, and lifestyle brands.

A fresh, light blue-green from the Natural Colours range. Clean and contemporary — suits wellness, healthcare, and lifestyle brands, and personal notebooks for creative users.

A true, saturated red. Bold and direct. Red carries strong positive associations in Singapore and Malaysia's multicultural business context — one of the most requested corporate gifting colours in the region.

A deeper, wine-toned red — more refined and less assertive than Cherry. Popular with finance, legal, and professional services teams.

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.
