Brown bog roll...be difficult to figure out eh when you're done.
Never noticed that you could only get white stuff though...there's a market that could be tapped into. What about stars n stripes tp? I don't see why patriotism should stop at the bathroom

We have three baths - one with no window because it is in the basement and the other two have windows. We want to take out the window in the main bathroom and put a skylight in instead. You can see in the main bathroom window very well from the deck!
And agree with the reason for the tp color being absent - septic tank problems. Apparently (or so some American friends of ours told us) something to do with the enzymes that are needed in the tanks to dissolve/get rid of/absorb into ground the waste. the colouring in tp stops them from working properly. Why the colour in tp is different to the colour used in cereal and pooped into same septic tank, I don't know!

Two of our bathrooms have windows, the other one doesn't.
Never bought coloured loo roll in UK anyway.

Anyway, the toilet paper is white because the colouring agents are saved for the cereal rolling off the next assembly line over.

Aaah.... just gotta love those Fruity Pebbles.
I, too, had never noticed all the loo roll was white.
Our bathroom has a window in it.

Yep all our bathrooms have windows, the master has a rather high set octagonal window, the family bath has a very small window that faces north so makes the room seem perpetually cold (not helped by me painting it blue), and the boys half bath has a window but is upstairs so no real worries about peeping toms. Our neighbours are a good 1/4 mile away although i'm sure they could get some sort of view if they got their binoculars out !
As for white TP I've got used to it now, my kids bought over some Andrex when they first visited because I complained so much about not having coloured stuff but its never been used *sigh*
