The colors in the Cape Town Collection are bright and cheery and fun. If you need your Post-Its to stick out, these colors will do it. The paper is nice and thick (my marker showed through on the back side, but didn't bleed through to the next sheet) and they stick - and restick - very well! They even stick pretty well to non-paper surfaces, like a wooden frame around my cork board and the wall. 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate.
