tasteful thickness

Part of a quote from the American Psycho produced in 2000:

"Look at that subtle off-white colouring.
The tasteful thickness of it.
Oh my God, it even has a watermark."

-Patrick Bateman

"Tasteful Thickness" is often used to denote something that has proper width that is pleasing to the senses, in particular the sense of vision.

Burke: "Did you forget to put paper into the printer?"

Kyle: "Yes, sorry. I was busy admiring the tasteful thickness of it."
