The chemical process of coloring toilet paper is even worse than that of bleaching.

To those of you who wouldn't be able to tell if TP was unused but for the whiteness of it; seek help.

I totally agree. But i believe that toilet paper company's won't recognize this absurdity mainly because of tradition and latent childhood psychology. The mass public wouldn't go after such an endeavor because since we were potty trained, the only thing we could and were allowed to use to 'clean up' was the soft white-bleached paper toilet paper. Also the psychology of the color white is completely transfixed in your culture. White is clean, sanitized, pure, and bright. White is good, soft, and warm. Natural colored paper would be incredibly environmentally friendly, but as the American public proves on a daily basis, absurdity is normalcy.

If you had brown toilet paper how could you tell if you were clean? Yes white tp is necessary and i dont think the pollutions inherent in the process is harming the atmosphere maybe just your brain cells.

Colored toilet paper always gives me a bladder infection.

Ok, you are forgiven, this clearly does not belong here. But in any case, I think it has to do with aesthetics, I guess it looks better white than paper with random "bits" and colors.

some people buy the unbleached ecological kind, but I don't think you can find it everywhere I think it comes from the process of making it softer, etc.
Scott sells pink, blue, yellow etc.

Yea, you have to be able to tell if it is new or used.
