Use Multiply. Light paper colours barely darken the image but add their tone and texture. Darker sheets like kraft add a stronger, warmer cast.

The crumpled, photocopy and concrete plates are heavier. They work best behind type, on poster backgrounds, or at low opacity over flat illustrations.

Blend mode: Multiply · Recommended opacity 40–100%
