I have some and it's a stop slower and softer than regular multicontrast which has been my paper for decades. As this paper is as fast and contrasty as can be the "chocolate" version "by the color of the box" is very workable. It is very responsive to differing developers and toners. It should not be hard at all to work up a distinctive look and that look would likely lean toward previous tonalities of previous decades. Although this could be a trick question and you don't want warm, but cold. In that case Dupont Varigram had more bromide than chloride and I would just get into Pyro. Become a Pyromaniac! Mark Rabiner
