Best plant for paper?

[zbrm]

Sorry for such many threads. I have lots of questions.

Do you know what kind of plants are best for light-color paper? I'm making my paper from scratch with water and plants, and I need it to be bright for writing. I'm making grimoire for recipes.

I can't have too green. Colors are for specific areas in the book, so I need as light as I can for the rest of the pages.
It also need long fibers for strong paper.

Also, should plants be fresh or dried? I've not before made paper from plants, so it's new with me.

Thank you for help from you!
