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.

Famous quotes containing the words colour and/or pages:
“We dreamed that a great painter had been born
To cold Clare rock and Galway rock and thorn,
To that stern colour and that delicate line
That are our secret discipline
Wherein the gazing heart doubles her might....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages o’er;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out of door.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
