A big part of it is that when I was a kid because of my parents jobs I remember being in a lot of like, machinists halls, church libraries etc with old notebooks and stuff that I assumed were from the 70s or 80s because they didn't look like the new ones I had, and this yellow-ivory color looks very familiar. I think I assumed the color was because the paper was old, and not because they were this color to begin with. I feel like in the 90 and early 00s readily available notebooks weren't stark white but they weren't ivory either, they were more cool-toned.
