Whatever happened to colored toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex, diapers, etc? The times I have visited European countries I have found colorful paper products, peach and mint colored toilet paper, purple and med green kleenes, et. I also remember the color printed diapers when I had my baby. I always buy alot of paper products when I go abroad because the colors are a nice addition to my home. I am tired of white toilet paper and kleenex. I found a nice color of toilet paper that matched my shower curtain and a box of kleenex that went well in my bedroom but here in the US I only find white products. I have heard the excuse that color products cause cancer, really, I have never heard of anyone getting butt cancer or nose cancer.

I didn't really know what catagory to put this question in.

Because it has been determined that all those dyes and such are not good for our health or the environment.

There really is nose cancer and there is also skin cancer. Too many additives are used to make "pretty" colors. Most men don't care what color the paper is if you are just going to throw it in the garbage or down the toilet. I think you need to look at the BIGGER picture ..... you wipe your a** and throw it out... Who cares what color it is. Lets see... on one hand we have starvation, hurricanes, wars, homelessness, etc. And on the other hand we have ONLY white paper (stop the presses).
I think you need to have a reality check. My house was nearly demolished by a hurricane. I'm lucky to have a toilet much less worry about what color my paper is.
Get a life and stop being so superficial.
