This and it's subsequent comments are the weirdest, most unexpected thing in here to me.
I'm an American who's worked in offices the last 10+ years and I have stacks and stacks of yellow legal pads from years of note taking in my closet.
I think it is probably to do with it being cheap recycled discolored paper that was cheaper to dye than bleach. Might be better for the environment than bleach as well.
I switched to dot paper about 4 years ago, though, and I'm relatively happy with the decision.
- noir_lord 10y agoThe yellow pads are available in the UK but I've never seen them in the wild, I use 5mm squared A4 pads as they are the cheapest I've been able to find without buying an insane bulk order.
- rhino369 10y agoIt's more expensive to die it yellow than bleach it white. And yellow paper is less recyclable. Some say yellow is better because it doesn't change color over time. I personally prefer yellow, but it's certainly odd. My law firm in the USA uses white now.
