you are using, it cannot adjust the output colors for colored paper. To

Coated paper
Clay or other pigment-coated papers must be specifically designed
for laser printers. The electrical properties must be controlled and the
surface designed not to blister during fusing, and the coating must not
flake or shed particles that can contaminate the printer.
Some chemically coated papers such as carbonless paper can cause
swelling of rollers, damage to the paper path, or buildup on the fuser,
and can produce undesirable emissions. These papers can result in
unsatisfactory performance and poor reliability, and their use is not
recommended.
Specialty or converted paper
Paper that undergoes converting processes before being used in
your laser printer must be properly designed and manufactured to
ensure acceptable performance. Converting processes include
preprinting, engraving, die-cutting, perforating, folding, gluing,
embossing, and debossing. These processes use many different
inks, materials, tools, and techniques and it is recommend that you
make sure your converter or supplier knows that the media will be
used in a laser printer. Ask for a guarantee of acceptable
performance.
Media that have perforations or cutouts can be printed successfully
on your HP LaserJet printer. However, these media must be properly
designed and manufactured to avoid feed or contamination problems.
