Seeking a Brand of masking or packaging tape that matched the color of Kraft Paper?

I wrap finished frames with Kraft Paper and I think it would look a bit nicer if the tape was more similar to the color of paper.
 
Butcher shops still use kraft paper tape. It has to be moistened. You used to be able to buy a dispenser that had a reservoir of water. I would start looking at grocery and restaurant suppliers. And a trip to TALAS website might produce something.

Kraft tape is still the main method of finishing the backs of frames in the UK, so may Lion might be a good place to look. They may have a pressure-sensitive tape which might be easier to work with.
 
Probably close is the most you can hope for. I still use brown kraft paper for a lot of things. Every roll is a slightly different color these days.
 
We use kraft paper tape daily along with marsh tape dispenser
