I love this paper but I get frustrated with it because sometimes it's a pastel pink, and other times it's more of a hot pink. I have many sheets of this paper in a binder and you can see the varying colors over time.
This paper is a beautiful shade of lilac and prints well with good contrast for readers. We like this color especially in the church for Lent and spring. It performs well in the copy machines and looks great.
It is not th same color as in years past. I had to send it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
