Leaflets - Is the colour important?

I need to print some more leaflets but I am wondering if I should use white paper to save money or buy coloured paper?

So far I have been using coloured paper but it is expensive.
 
Also, I heard that yellow paper (black print) is the optimum colour for those who are sight-impaired. Used to work at a hippy, independent publishing co who made an effort to print most things on yellow paper.

Though whether this is of any use is another question...

If you are talking about company stationary then just stick to white unless you have a very good reason not to. If you are talking about litho printed marketing material, you can achieve the same effect as coloured paper by just printing a tint onto white.

I used to do some work with HSBC and they wanted their stuff on "cream" paper to give a high value feeling. We used to print everything on white but with a 20% tint of yellow in the background. Looked just the same.
