Here's a procedural texture for a coarse grain paper (normals based on
leopard pattern):

#declare paper = texture {
  pigment { granite
    color_map {
     [0 color rgb <1,0.98,0.95>]
     [0.2 color rgb <1,0.98,0.95>]
     [0.21 color rgb <1,0.96,0.83>]
     [0.3 color rgb <1,0.96,0.83>]
     [0.4 0.5 color rgb <1,0.98,0.95> color rgb <1,0.98,0.95>]
     [0.51 0.6 color rgb <.77,0.54,0.33> color rgb <.77,0.54,0.33>]
     [0.61 0.9 color rgb <1,0.96,0.83> color rgb <1,0.96,0.83>]
     [0.91 color rgb <.77,0.54,0.33>]
     [1 color rgb <.77,0.54,0.33>]
    }
  scale 0.5
  }
}
texture { pigment { color rgbt <1,0.96,0.83,0.1>}
  normal { leopard 1 turbulence 1.7 scale 0.01 }
}
