What are the best colours to print on brown kraft paper?

It is recommended you stick to black, darker colours or muted tones when printing on brown kraft paper. These colours are less likely to be affected by the colour of the paper they are being printed on and will provide a good contrast on the brown kraft paper. Other than black all colours will be affected to some extent when being printed on brown kraft paper.
