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!
I'm always looking for ways to make my printed material stand out from the norm. If I want people to notice my announcements for events etc. then pastel colors is the way to go. Staples has a great selection of colors that are appropriate for most occasions. Price per package is higher than white paper but it's worth it to get your message noticed.
We own a business and print over 3000 school lunch menus a month. We also print flyers and our school calendar. We always use colored paper to make the copies more interesting and to be able to distinguish the different months. This paper holds up great and is durable.
