That's one reason I use the unbleached (brown) coffee filters. They aren't Glare White when one happens to be exposed. The brown filters just look like leaves.

Almost any kind of paper is a good "brown" for compost. It might be "slow-release" cellulose and lignin, but it all feeds the micro-herd eventually.
