from what i saw at the career fair (and from my time working as a sys admin
at tech's OHR), hiring peeps tend to not like those off-white paper colors.
for a variety of reasons:
for instance, the paper may be heavier than standard laser/copier paper,
which can be a problem for the OCR systems if they have the *big* paper
feeders.  The heavier paper increases the likelihood of a jam, and the
off-white color can screw up some OCR, as the shade will appear as a
grayscale.

i've also seen promo literature explicity stating that they want the resume
on plain white paper for these very reasons...

just my $0.02
