It looks like you added a cool red. Add a warm red next time.

Yep. You're right but after I boosted it with orange it became the perfect chocolate pudding brown...

Such a project - I have always wondered about this making a leather-look on paper, so thank you for fully explaining the process. I'm still debating why my Canon laser printer doesn't "stick" to some cardstock and I'm sure that it probably has to do with absorbability or something. I sealed a bunch of my covered paper clips with a clear sealer but then the insides still rubbed off on whatever I put them on. Anyway, all that aside, great video sequences here!

Yes, the color laser printers are limited in a lot of crafting situations. As you've discovered... ☹️
