This ream of paper had very bright colors. It was just what I needed. I was doing crafts for second graders and it worked out very well. I have told many of the other room moms to go and get these teams if necessary.
I use the Staples Brights for copying pictures to color for children in our church... the bright colors birng smiles on the childrens faces... and when you can get children to smile... their problems in their life seem to disapear for the moment... so when the paper goes on sale I can buy more and stay within my budget... the store has a pretty good selection of colors... but I think next time before I buy I will more than likely go on line and check out additional colors that I can get...
Since it's a Staples Brights product I was worried to get a neon yellow but it's not...it's yellow not pastel & not neon. It was nice to have 24lb also for a tax worksheet a little thicker but not cardstock by any means. Worked great for us.
As a teacher I often opt for colored paper to vary assignment handouts so that kids can refer to them easily. In a course where kids will take a state mandated and state created end of course exam keeping track of notes and other materials is necessary. Use of various colors of Brights paper makes this easier. I can refer to handouts by color and name instead of having a stack of boring white handouts to comb through. I often use the brights and pastels in rotated fashion so that we can track assignments and refer to previous assignments for reviewing the state End Of Course content. Kids love the bright colors too!!
I like this product because the color is sharp and bright. it is heavy enough that I can use it for small booklets. printing and color graphics contrast well.
