Color is inoffensive but no particularily appealing either. Does the trick of allowing us to create printouts of distinctive "chits". I imagine they were on sale and we're not married to re-using this color.
Using colored paper is the only way I can stay organized considering the enormous amount of papers that cross my desk everyday. I'm a high school teacher and I try to color-code to maintain my sanity.
I use Staples Pastel Colored Paper when I want to stand-out. I use these papers when I send monthly statements to my customers. Because they are a different color from my invoices Accounts Payable departments spend a little more time handling this and therefore I get paid on-time or even early. Also these 20# sheets do not jam in my printer.
Apparently this copy paper is doing well. My students mostly males had a discussion regarding the color of this paper. I said that it was orange or salmon. They stated that it was pink. Regardless of the name I can always depend on Staples for its pastels and brights that help me delineate lessons etc. Thanks for having reasonably-priced selections.
