A very expressive and unconventional design that immediately stands out from classic tobacco products. The Collorys 100's pack is decorated with a bright multi-colored background - a combination of blue, yellow, red and purple, symbolizing the playfulness of this edition.
In the central part there is a large inscription COLLORYS in gold letters, with an emphasis underneath 100's and text Colored Cigarettes. Technical data and inscription on the side and bottom Party Filters, indicating that the cigarettes had colored filters - this was the main feature of this edition.
The packet shows the Dutch excise stamp and the warning is in three languages: Dutch, French and German – "Brengt de gezondheid ernstige schade toe / Nuit gravement à la santé / Schädigt ernstaft die Gesundheit".
The surface is glossy, covered with a metallized laminate that changes from light blue to purple depending on the lighting.

– Condition assessment: Excellent, unopened, with original film and excise stamp. Minimal signs of age visible on the surface.
– Historical data and popularity: „Collorys is an experimental tobacco line created for the Benelux market as a festive or "party" alternative to traditional cigarettes. Due to their limited distribution and unconventional product (colored filters, in some cases even colored papers), these packs are considered one of the more interesting collector's rarities from the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.
