It's interesting how universal the use of colour was. I grew up in a smaller province most people don't know (or at least can't spell). The phone books were made by a crown corp that was pretty much just for the province. Yet, same colour schemes. Outside of the book was yellow. White pages for people, yellow for businesses.
We had the same (all yellow, but personal part was white, or at least as white as the shitty paper could be). But they were called "Golden pages" instead ("Žluté" (yellow) vs "Zlaté" (golden)), probably because in our language it sounds better.
Czechia btw.
