I think this would be fine - I need to use coloured paper due to my disability and I can buy this with the printing allowance just fine. If you are concerned you could check with the centre you had your needs assessment at or your university disability service.

It doesn’t let me buy coloured paper as far as I know.. My centre hasn’t been too helpful, and it’s been ages till I had my reports changed finally after 9 months.

I don't have anything which says I can buy coloured paper, I just did and it's fine.

“You can’t use it for specialised paper or stationery such as photo paper, glossy paper, matt paper, brown paper, cardboard paper, refill pads, notebooks, post-its, wall planners, flipcharts, diaries or card.“

I thought specialised meant coloured paper, right?. That’s great, thank you

I think specialised means not printer paper in this context. So it doesn’t want you to buy craft supplies or general stationery, only printer paper (whether that be A4, A3 or coloured printer paper) for printing text (so no photo paper) and ink.
