Looking for origami paper in a specific color combination: purple/silver

For our wedding, we've decided to go with origami flowers for the bride's bouquet and the groomsmen's and bridesmen's boutonnières. I'd like to be able to buy a bunch of origami paper with the wedding's colors: purple and silver. I've seen plenty of origami paper that's metallic on one side and solid on the other, but I haven't been able to find a way to buy just this one particular color combination. Any ideas?

It's the kind of J-pop you could really sumo wrestle to.

Which Japanese band / song is used in this video? They're very New Order'y, and I know the missus would like them a lot. Extra credit: Is there a pattern / design / instructions out there for making and playing with paper doll sumo wrestlers like this? Because, frankly, this has Rock'em Sock'em Robots beat all to hell.

What's the closest app to a paper notebook for android?

I would like to find a notetaking application that is flipable. Rather than having to open and close various, lists, tabs or folders of notes I want basically one very long note pad with several pages. Basically I'm hoping to find an app that is exactly like a small paper notebook that you would put in your pocket. It's not one note, it's not ak notes, it's not Evernote. Does anyone have any suggestions? Bonus points if it is sinkable.

Can I restore this stencil?

I was given an antique framed piece of intricately cut brown paper, which I am told was used as a stencil, perhaps on fabric. The paper has dark and light stains on it.

Spotty, (?) Orange (?), Scandinavian (?) notebooks?

I vaguely remember seeing the English-language website for a Scandanavian (?) company that makes notebooks. The pages were spotted rather than lined (at least for the ones I was looking at), and the covers were plain and may have been orange (although maybe that was just the colourscheme of the website). Not much to go on, but does anyone know the company I'm talking about? [more inside]
