A colour developing composition for use in pressure-sensitive (carbonless) copying paper sets comprises an inorganic pigment extender (e.g. kaolin, talc or calcined kaolin) and a hydrated silica/hydrated alumina composite. The composition is produced by precipitating the hydrated silica/hydrated alumina composite in the presence of the extender by the following steps: a) gradually adding a metal silicate solution to a solution of an aluminium salt which is initially at a pH below 4 until the pH of the resulting mixture is approximately 4, thereby to induce some precipitation and to form a sol; b) gradually adding alkali to said sol to raise the pH to approximately 7, thereby to induce further precipitation and gel the sol or further gel the sol, said gelled sol being a hydrated silica/hydrated alumina composite; c) separating the resulting product from the aqueous medium and washing to remove dissolved salts; and d) drying the washed product and reducing it in particle size.
