Various colors of "leather books" originated from a specific report on a topic by a government department. Usually this kind of report is printed without any decoration, and the cover is black and white, so it is called "white paper".
In many countries, it has become a common practice for governments to use "white papers" when releasing reports. For example, China published the White Paper on Regional Ethnic Autonomy in China and the White Paper on National Defense in China in 2004.
In addition, some countries use "red book", "blue book" and "green book". The nature of "official interpretation" of Northern Book also makes it often associated with "authority".
These "leather books" come from experts, scholars or professionals in scientific research institutions and express their understanding and cognition of politics, economy and society in reality or in the future. Their views and opinions are representative and authoritative to some extent.
There is no special regulation on the color of the "leather book", which can be meaningless or combined with the content of the book. In addition, there are some books on the market that use "leather books" in their titles, just borrowing this concept.
