I take a lot of notes. So color-coding different projects both professional and just-at-home projects can be very helpful. I tried colored construction paper but it just wasn't a good quality to write on and it looks very unprofessional. "Staples Brights Colored Paper" is the perfect weight density and provides a super smooth surface for any kind of note taking. On the negative side the "Violet" color is way too dark to be used and I'll probably end up just throwing that color away.
