Of course, I remember!  I don't really miss them.  I really don't miss the 'scented' TP--that stuff made me itch so badly!

I also remember colored notebook paper--I miss that!!

Yes, I remember colored tissue and toilet paper.  They would sell packets of different colored tissue paper to carry in your purse.  It looked like a rainbow.

When I think back to the house one of my Mom's sister and her husband built I am surprised we did not all get nauseous in that home with all the color.  Aunt Pat's house was the first one in our family with two toned shag carpeting and it was a different color for every room.  They had lots of rooms, including just a music room.

At least when Mom built ours the bedrooms all had the same color but the living area and dining room was different.  But both homes had carpet in the kitchen.  Yes it stained, uggggg.

Yes, my mother always had green TP and tissues for the green bathroom and yellow TP and tissues for the yellow bathroom. Especially when company was coming over!!

I liked the blue tissues and the beige, sometimes pink. Never cared about the toilet paper.

I do this now with print paper towels. I have my favorite design....it's a little thing that cheers me up for some strange reason.   I can always use plain white but the print is what I choose.

Yep! I had pink and blue.  They were pretty!

Yes. I wish they would bring it back.

I think it's still sold on Amazon. And it's sold in the U.K.

We built a house in the 70's.  One of the bathroom was blue with blue fixtures and I used blue toilet paper there.  Another bathroom wallpapered with yellow and white small floral wallpaper and used yellow toilet paper in there.    Now its strictly white non-scented toilet paper.

Anyone over forty five probably had colored tissue or TP. The colored stuff started to disappear in the 80's. Prior to that, it was everywhere. Pink, yellow and blue were very common. You bought it to match your bathroom.

My mom used to buy the colors. I believe there were also little floral prints, which she also used.

Northern used to have colored flowers on the white background.  I liked that better than the solid colors.

Our single bathroom had black tile, pink floral wallpaper, pink tissues and tp. I do not remember floral tp. I had those Northern prints someone mentioned.
