[BKARTS] pink cover stock?? please hellp.

Hi,

I am desperately searching for a pink-colored cover stock to complete a 
handmade, small-run zine project I'm working on, and I'm ending up 
having the worst time!  I'm not sure how to best describe the exact 
color I'm looking for: just pink, normal pink.  I'm not looking for 
something as dark as mauve, and I don't want anything 'neon' or 'hot' or 
'electric.'

So far, I've only come up with:

1. Domtar made a very light pink cover stock called "Bermuda Pink," 
which has been discontinued.

2. Neenah made a just slightly darker paper called "Rubystone."  I think 
this would have been perfect for me, however it's also been discontinued.

3. Wausau still makes a "Royal Fiber Rose," which would be about right, 
however it comes with these little 'stylish' dark fiber specks embedded 
in it, which isn't a texture I'd like to use here.  I'm going to be 
silk-screening onto the paper, so would just like a solid, clean surface 
to work with, that will not distract from or compete with the art.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?  Ideally, I'd like something 
about 80lbs, with a linen finish, but at this point any nice, plain pink 
cover stock will do.  I only need about 250 sheets.  As a last ditch 
I've ordered several samples from www.discountcardstock.com, but I'm not 
sure these papers are exactly art/archival quality!

Thank you for any suggestions!  Any help would be very appreciated.

Robbie
