I am looking for a "warm" metallic paper for a client's project. I have thought about Moab Pearl. Any other suggestions?

They all contain OBAs somewhere in their construction. The screenshot of SpectrumViz will tell you. If you can live with a pearlescent type the Mitsubishi gives the warmest impression of all and its light reflection is better too.(http://)

I've tried four, Moab, Breathing Color Vibrance Metallic, Red River (Mitsubishi) and Kodak, and haven't noticed any of them having a "warmish" tint. My preference is for Breathing Color because it doesn't have a pearlescent look but is more like a metal print, but Red River is also nice.

Either Mitsubishi and/or Red River changed available papers since I made the measurements (pefectly possible, I get not enough samples here) but the ones I measured were different, visually and measured.

i recently tried epson metallic paper. i did a comparison print between it and epson premium glossy. the image was of a wedding couple (friends) that were standing outside in front of a rust/copperish colored wall. i think depending on the angle i looked at on the epson metallic, it was HUGELY warm compared to the epson premium glossy. i printed with factory profiles, from photoshop on epson 3880.

I love Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl. But not the Silver Metallic which is truly awful.
The Pearl doesn't look metallic, just pearl.
The Silver makes the print look more like a black and white positive the silver cast just overwhelms the print

Interesting, they look very different. All I can tell you is that 3 years ago when I did my metallic paper tests I called Red River and they said they were selling repackaged Mitsubishi. Maybe that's changed.
