All I want....

Is to find a construction paper assortment that contains these colors: light purple, dark purple, bright green, and red.

I thought I had succeeded today at Staples, only to learn when I opened the pack at home that there not only was no dark purple, there was no green! How dare they sell a pack of construction paper without any green in it?

Once, you could walk into any five-and-dime store, or even any drugstore, and get a pack of construction paper with a large selection of colors. (I should know--doing things with construction paper was one of my favorite hobbies in childhood).

Now, however, Staples and the drugstores near me have proven inadequate in this respect.

I was hoping to avoid the art store route, since I only need the construction paper for a temporary project (specifically, for mockups of proposed Raptor banner designs) but I suspect I'm not going to find what I need anywhere else. :-(
