THE NATURAL NAME: Launched in 1943, Richlite’s Natural color was used as an industrial and aerospace tooling material. Due to not adding any color to the paper and the amber tone of Richlite’s resin, the end result is what Naturally occurs.
Natural is made with neutral-colored paper, the color you see is purely a result of the resin. Natural has a mottled appearance mixed with a warm amber color, with time darkening to a beautiful sienna hue.
PATINA: Richlite patinas like a natural wood product and varies from sheet to sheet. Like wood, it will mature in color, giving greater depth to the surface.

Overall, it will appear softer and deeper in tone.
