Thats a great Q & I don't know if this is a roundabout solution to it or not. But regardless of color diagrams or not, very few diagrams expressly state what kind of paper to use. They note size of paper, and maybe sometimes whether foil or kami is good but beyond that, paper choice, type & color etc are totally left to the folders' creativity. I hope that helps some...
