Colors you hate
Any colors that completely turn you off?

Mine are pink--specifically, that horrid baby pink, and brown--the muddy color brown. I like hot pink, and dark browns are okay. Brown is overall my least favorite color. I also don't really care for pastels--give me bright, mostly primary colors, and I'm happy.

Where's the hippie icon?
:silly:

But you know, grey is kind of ugly. I have a lot of grey clothes, and I'm not entirely sure why.

7. Mauve
Reminds me of brains....

Specifically, I found a dead weasel in the woods. It had been dead a few days and was just starting to turn. I brought it home and stuck it in the freezer for 6 months. Then I cut off the head and boiled it. Then I stuck it back in the freezer for another 6 months. Then I buried it in the yard for a month. Then I boiled it some more. FINALLY I took my scalpel and cleaned out the head, using tweezers and q tips to pick out the brains.

Mauve.

Totally gross.

8. blue
plain old, run of the mill blue.
I love navy, turquoise, violet. All variations of blue, but not blue. I must have had a bad experience with blue when I was younger.

that Bush's face turns when he's trying to be cute.

11. I hate orange.
I don't mind tans and ochres and things like that...neutrals for decorating and such.

But the bright color of the fruit, blegh. And it makes me look dead when I wear it. So definitely orange.

Prison color Orange.
But in sunsets/sunrises it's fine. And fire of course.

12. Bright Yellow
Especially when used as paint. Probably because I did a lot of :puke: when I was younger in a room with yellow walls and yellow-gold carpeting.

14. I can't say I hate any color
that's such a strong word, but I really don't like pink...I guess it just has to do with me not being a girly girl. However on the rare times that I do wear it, I get compliments on how good it looks on me. Go figure a color that I can't stand looks really flattering on me!

I actually hate this color. When I was a kid I hated turquoise, but the hate evolved.

17. Teal. Remember when teal was popular?
Early to mid nineties?

Teal was actually my prom color.

It's funny, I used to remember thinking back then that people in the seventies must have been really fucking stupid for liking those ugly browns and oranges and yellows. Then there I was liking teal.

21. Yellow
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 04:24 PM by youspeakmylanguage
It amazed me, but Tarantino seemed to make yellow work in "Kill Bill". I've never liked it in almost any other context.

Anyone with a yellow automobile that isn't a cab needs to be forced off a cliff.

22. No, it really depends on where the color is
and what colors are around it. I wouldn't want a hot pink living room but a hot pink shirt is alright. But an entire hot pink outfit would be way too much.

23. I was going to ask, "How can I HATE a COLOR?" Colors are,
after all, pretty inanimate things, and as such shouldn't be able to provoke such strong feelings.

But then I remembered how much I detested our house being painted beige, and how happy I was when we repainted it blue.

Beige. Yuck.

24. Fuschia. You know - that pink color, like Pepto Bismol.
Blecch. All that color reminds me of is Pepto Bismol.

And all Pepto Bismol ever did was make my barf a bright color...

Bleah.

33. Butter yellow and browns mixed together
actually makes me want to vomit. I have this weird thing about associating color with food. Like pink and purple makes think of chocolate.

It's still not my favorite. Blue has always been my preferred color (especially Blue State Blue).
