I am very happy with the quality of this paper. This paper is used for meetings as well as handing out flyers to customers and potential clients. The color turquoise stands out extremely well and brings attention to whatever is printed. The paper is not too thick nor too thin. When we purchased this paper we purchased as part of a mixed ream with other pastel colors. All other colors of paper that were included are very nice as well. Although the turquoise color is an eye catcher which brings you to wanting to read whatever is printed.
Used this for church bulletins for November and Thanksgiving. It is not too pumpkin-shaded. Not really a true pastel but definitely not a 'bright'color.
We use this for Christmas church bulletins for the whole month of December. I will combine it with a dark green insert for the first couple of weeks. It has been a nice combination. The pastel color was not too "sweet" - neither too yellow or too blue. We will use a bright red insert for Christmas week and it looks like it will work very well. Sometime the 'brights' selections in the colored papers are so vivid that they become almost childish. The pastels are a much better choice when dealing with so many adults in our congregation.
Even though this is described as 'pastel' it was a bit brighter than I desired. It will be used for church bulletins and I was hoping for more of a "strawberry ice cream" pink but it comes out more 'eraser pink". A pretty color but a bit much for our older gentlemen in our congregation. Our pre-school kids will love though!
