I chose this colour because it is so easy on my eyes to read the printed information. So much better than the regular white. The black print or coloured print shows up clearer. I doubt that I will use white again. The pastel colours that Staples offer are not as bright as you may think. They are very readable and I could even lighten the amount of black ink I use.
I used the pastel green paper to welcome spring and St. Patrick's day in my classroom. 8th graders always like something new and unusual so this helped to brighten up their day too. I buy colored paper monthly to run off our weekly checklist as a reminder to the students what to expect and what they have to do during the week. They get the checklist on Friday for the upcoming week. Everyday they check off work they have completed and at the end of the week all of their work is stapled to this sheet with their scores recorded and they can always go back by the color and the week to find their work.
Fairly good quality paper. There is the occasional little flaw but that is common for colored paper. My students always enjoy when I am able to copy in color - they say it helps them find the particular sheet in their notebook. It is great for formula sheets review guides or anything else that you want to be easily located. Unfortunately our school only supplies white paper - and the colored is fairly costly. So I have to conserve it for special occasions - or wait until I get my staples rewards dollars!!
