delighted with the colored paper for my project. hard to decide which color! print was sharp and did not interfere with the black print or the colors. project in the mail ..too late to take pictures.
I like the yellow. I mean It doesn’t smell yellow like I wish it did but in the grand scheme of things no real complaints there. I’ll also go as far as to say the ripping sound is nice. It’s a solid tear when you give it a good rip. Just give it a tug and try…you’ll see! The reason I’m giving this a three star review however is because it’s just not very good for crumpling . I like my paper to be able to crumple and hold its form. When you crumple this paper and let it go it opens up... I can’t have that. Won’t buy again.

Be wary if color is important

I purchased this paper as part of a project to color-code required forms in my job. I was unpleasantly surprised to find a significant variation in the "Goldenrod" color between the two sides of the sheets. One side (let's call it the front) is indeed what one would expect goldenrod to be a deep rich yellow with a perceived gloss. The back of the sheet however is noticeably lighter and "flatter." This variation in a single ream begs the question of how much the color varies between lots. Granted one could be extremely careful to ensure that the "front" is used consistently but one shouldn't have to. While the paper is otherwise of good quality for the price and takes HP laser toner well in my opinion this obvious color variation in a system where color coding is intended to distinguish appropriate forms at a glance is a concern which should be considered when making a purchase. At the very least examine both sides in good lighting before choosing this product.

Darker than expected

I made the purchase from an in-store computer screen. The paper is darker than I thought.
