Spore print colors

I've been thinking about messing with spore prints on paper as art/cool picture. Would also be cool to have something representative of myself on my wall. I've never thought about spores in that way, but really, there are so many different colors of spores. It seems like there would be really neat combinations that you could create. I don't spore print a ton of mushrooms like I did when I first started hunting, so I'm kinda out of the "know" on mushrooms and their corresponding spore color. I hunt for me so don't need to keep track of such trivial matters . I want to make a piece with as many spore print colors that I can come up with, ideally similar in print size as well but that is a secondary preference to variation in colors. There are also mushrooms that would not work well for this project and leave wet prints like Lepista nuda. I need them to be dry prints. I know there are spores that are white, black, yellow, orange, pink, brown, and purple. Does anyone know of anything that leaves a red, lavender, silver or grey, green, or metallic spore prints? Really interested in hearing peoples' recommendations or ideas involving this and other mushrooms, fungi, mold, or even spore bearing plants that would make a curious addition.

Yeah man. Make a stencil and place a fat cap on it. Use different species W/ different spores for different shades man.

There are none unless you really stretch the definition of those colors.
