Hull Colour Pages and Hull White Pages are the Classified and Residential telephone directories provided specifically for the Kingston Communications service area. Hull Colour Pages became the UK's first classified telephone directory when it was first published in 1954 to celebrate Kingston Communications' 50th anniversary as Hull's Telephone Company. The Golden Pages, as the first Hull Colour Pages was called, carried advertising from a wide range of customers including taxis, sail makers, driving schools, painters and decorators and office machinery suppliers amongst others.
By 1992 the Hull Yellow Pages had become so popular with both telephone subscribers and advertisers that it was necessary to split the directory into two separate books, Business and Residential. Hull Colour Pages continued to grow and in 1998 produced the UK's first full colour Business Directory, changing the Directory's name from Hull Yellow Pages to Hull Colour Pages in the process.

“The poet is the supreme artist, for he is the master of colour and of form, and the real musician besides, and is lord over all life and all arts.”

“Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
