Color films and papers have three emulsion layers, each sensitive to a different color. Panalure paper has a single panchromatic (all colors) black and white emulsion, similar to panchromatic black and white films like Tri-X. Single grade black and white papers have one emulsion layer sensitive to blue light and not sensitive to red light, which is why we can use a red safelight with these papers. Variable contrast papers have two emulsion layers, one low contrast and one high contrast. One layer is sensitive to blue light and one to green light.
