I have several and they are printed inn manila paper and brown ink only

Most patterns now a days are printed in black and white because color printing is so expensive. I can't remember the last time I purchased a pattern and it was printed in color.

Hello,

About 98% of the patterns on our website will be in black and white symbols. There are very few that have color in them and the ones that do only show backstitch lines or specialty stitches in color. It's very expensive to print in color, so almost everything is black and white. Thank you :)

This is great -- I prefer B&W since I highlight chart as I stitch.

Thank you.
