Looking for origami paper in a specific color combination: purple/silver

Silver spray paint? Lay them all out in the garage and spray one side.

Get normal paper which is purple+silver, and then have a local print shop cut it into squares? You may be able to buy it at the print shop, even.

I was able to find what I wanted by calling Hollander's. Wasn't even all that expensive! Thanks everyone!

You can get a 15 pack for $12, which is an awesome deal, even if you'll be stuck with lots of other pieces of metallic/color paper.

I was just coming to suggest kimscrane.com. http://kimscrane.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_28&products_id=1218 They have a few other sizes as well. Scroll through the "origami papers" section.

It'd be a pain in the ass, but if the ideas above don't pan out, you could also consider laminating, using spray adhesive to laminate two papers that are exactly the colours that you want. I use this method fairly frequently, and granted it is a hassle, but it allows me/you to get exactly the combo I/you want (you won't have to settle on a shade of purple that is off, just to get something with silver on the other side). I'd do a test first, as you'll end up with something that is thicker than typical origami paper, but for a wedding, I'd think that might actually be a good thing (likely depending somewhat on the complexity of the folding).

Could you use one sheet of each color- so there would be two sheets total? I'm hoping it would not be too thick to fold.

Actually, I should have mentioned that I'd seen the kimscrane paper. It looks great, only it's tiny (only 40mm across). But otherwise, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm willing to pay a little extra for a combo package if it has a significant number of the color combination I'm looking for. The two-sheet solution might be possible, at least for the boutonnières; those are very simple folding patterns. But as the number of folds increases, it would become almost impossible to keep things lined up unless I did some kind of lamination process as segatakai suggests. I'll keep that in mind (along with the painting options). I'm thinking that the "silver leaf" might start to flake off once I started folding things. These ideas are worth looking into, but I'd prefer something with a little bit less effort. It's not the only creative project I've got associated with this wedding! Cutting from larger paper could also work for the boutonnières (again, simple folding pattern), depending on the kind of paper. Has anyone seen this color combination for other craft paper? Also, if anyone sees any other good origami paper with a purple/silver pattern of some sort, that could be useful.
