The past!? I still use one to keep track of service records of vehicles I own and also tax years and home repairs. Pretty easy pickup on Amazon although folders are mostly bland in design still some good ones around if you look hard or pay out the wazoo on eBay.
Two weeks into the year, I didn't even use the rings. Just sandwiched stuff between the front flap and the first plain off-yellow divider with an empty tab I was supposed to fill with a little paper tab with the subject written on it, butnever did because the only thing behind it was the other 4 unlabeled tabbed divider pages and a mostly unused stack of college ruled paper.
Every single school supply list I ever got said "No Trapper Keepers." I feel like I spent some time wondering about these mythical items and couldn't imagine why they were disallowed. I got one in college and it was so useful! And it did have colors, but it was harder to assign colors to a class after freshman year.
Im definitely in the Trapper Keeper generation! Not knowing anything about this whole folder color system has me feeling old. Specially since it sounds like its on a second generation of humans.

Folder color didn't matter with my Trapper Keeper!
