Now-a-days masking tape could come in all different colors than the light tan color we all grew up with. I was please to see that Staples has my favorite color and I got a deal by buying 4 rolls all at one time. When I got back to the studio with the tape I pulled out the first roll and pulled out a piece of tape. The light tan tape still did its job it seemed by sticking to stuff so I would give this a 5 star review since it worked well stuck to stuff and we could write all over it with a Sharpie!
