Um, guys, blueprint paper is dark...
Too light means the designs are barely visible. How can that be a good thing?
EDIT: Here's a comparison.

Your argument about it being closer to blueprint paper is ignorant at best.
A blueprint is meant to be clearly visible for easy reference.
I'm thinking of my grandpa's old blueprint paper he used for his architecture work. His was lighter blue than that. Not as light as the deck looks to be but closer to that. I use to look at all his drawings growing up. It may be different for his line of work, I don't know. I'm just basing my opinion off that.
You can call me ignorant and all that I really don't care. It's just personal experience for me. Others may see it differently
I wouldn't say ignorant in the least.
Like all things, doesn't blueprint paper fade with age and exposure? Were you looking at brand new blueprints, or older ones from when he was younger?
And like practically ANYTHING made of paper, is it not possible that there are variances in characteristics, including color, from time to time? And that "blueprint blue" is not a single, fixed, dyed-in-the-wool shade, but that many shades would qualify?
Personally, I've seen variances myself in blueprint color, even on the same sheet of blueprint paper!
(Moon, I like you, but maybe you should try a little decaf, nowadays it tastes just like the real thing...)
