BRIGHT ORANGE not muted like the photo
The color of the paper in the picture is softer than what arrives. The actual paper is vivid bright harsh orange almost florescent.

not red
This paper is not red it is more of a bright pink. If you are looking for a deep true red...this is not the one to purchase.

I use green paper for one of my forms in my office. We ordered thsi green accidentally and love it. We were using a "dull" green and when this arrived it was very cheerful. Great color and really stands out!!

It's paper
We ordered the paper thinking it would be red because it says red but its actually a neon looking pink red... so not exactly what we wanted but we use it for other things now.

It's really pink!
High-quality paper. Good weight. Just be aware when they say bright colors they mean bright colors. Pink is this more of a hot pink then what is shown on the website. The color is very intense. Good for flyers or for uses other than a lot of type to be read.

BLUES IN THE NIGHT
The paper is of a very high quality and weight. The purchaser should be aware that the colors are very bright and much more intense than they appear on the website. This paper would be excellent for flyers or brochures that do not have a lot of text content. The color of the paper is vivid enough that reading a large amount of text may be difficult.

Staples Brights Colored Paper
I use this paper as divider sheets in income tax return presentations. It works well the color is complimentary to the folders I use the weight and quality of the paper is quite good. As a sole proprietor I look to control costs as much as possible. I use sticky tabs on the sheets to designate the items behind that divider sheet. The cost of the paper and tabs and la...

Not true red
Not true 'red' and the description is misleading. I knew from previous ordering that this is what I wanted however you'd be wrong in assuming that you were getting RED if you had not seen it before

Definitely Not Red - Maybe a Coral?
I thought I was getting red paper. It is after all called red on the package and in the description. It's really more of a dark coral. We'll use it for other purposes here in the office and continue our search for true red paper!

Bright color brings things to your attn
We use this paper in our fax machine. When faxes come in we put in the salespersons' mailbox. At a quick glance they know the yellow paper means its a fax and they grab it right away to review. It saves us time and also helps us get jobs asap due to our rapid response to the emails and their contents.
