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.
In Norway there was one big book. Can't remember the "catchment area. White pages where private, yellow businesses. Last one published in 2009, tho smaller one for local district was published until 2017
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.
