(12,676 posts)My aunt loved a pink and yellow country floral printed TP that Scott used to make, matched her uncomfortably over-decorated guest bathroom. A rent-mate used to regularly pick up a pale blue brand for some reason; didn't quite match the aqua-mint and black tiles in our 1960's common bathroom. Right tone, wrong shade, and itchy as hell.
They finally discontinued colored TP in the mid-90's, from what I experienced. At least I didn't see it anymore here in San Diego County.
On edit - it seems that Scotts used to make colored TP up to 2004.

Most local stores have a selection of toilet paper ranging from cheap white paper to expensive white paper. That's it. When I was a child, you could get toilet paper in pastel pink or blue, but those died out when designers decided bathrooms can be other colors. There was also the discovery that dyes can cause allergic reactions in some people (not a pleasant thought). So white it is. But only at the local supermarket. With the power of the internet, you can break free from the tyranny of plain toilet paper!
My personal favorite category:
Just Toilet Paper has an extensive collection of specialty paper in lovely patterns, as well as several styles of bathroom reading material. You can get rolls with bathroom information or jokes, Beavis and Butthead humor, or Monty Python Skits (recommended by the man with three buttocks).
