What’s a courtesy color?

Courtesy flushing is a way to quickly eliminate foul-smelling excrement in public restrooms as a courtesy to others. It can also cover embarrassing sounds and should be coordinated with emanations of unknown origin. A post flush may be necessary to leave a clean bowl.

Nobody seems to agree on a single definition of courtesy color. It can occur during or after the act of defecation, particularly when using public facilities. The idea behind it, in most cases, is to get rid of particularly foul-smelling excrement as quickly as possible, as a courtesy to other people who may be in the bathroom.
A courtesy color is meant to be just that: a courtesy to others. If a person knows in advance that he’s going to pay the price for last night’s excesses, he might consider flushing the toilet several times during his visit to minimize unpleasant odors. The common belief is that most unpleasant odors are generated between delivery and receipt. This color type should eliminate offensive material from the game as soon as possible, reducing the total exposure time for others.

There are others who suggest that a courtesy flush should be coordinated with emanations of unknown origin. Trapped gases or explosive diarrhea can create embarrassing sounds, along with foul-smelling odors. A timely flush of the toilet could cover any unforeseen developments both tangible and intangible. The arguments against a flush of this type generally concern the principles of running water and vacuuming.

There is also the ceremonial post flush. No one likes to leave a bad impression and few things qualify as a non-flushing or under-flushing toilet. For some users, some debris may remain, which should require a second wash to leave a clean bowl. Others may find more flushing to deal with things that don’t go away as expected.
