Edited to add--got rid of yuk and placed no.

1. Green is the color of life. I'm not big on brown.

[debm55]

51. Me either. Green is fine in an outdoor setting. Insde and on clothers--it is a no for me.

[spooky3]

2. Yellow ochre nt

[debm55]

52. Agree

[Enter stage left]

3. Most shades of blue. Blues in nature are beautiful...

but I don't care for blue vehicles, shirts, etc.

Also, as a residential Realtor/Broker for 25+ years, I found most buyers didn't want to try to decorate around blue colors. I agreed 100%.

7. I have a blue car. I love it, and it's easy to find in a parking lot

where all the other cars are either white or black.

[Enter stage left]

8. Everyone has different tastes...

as long as you are happy, I'm happy for you.

[debm55]

53. I do like the blues in nature. Dusty blue in one of my rooms.

[highplainsdem]

72. Some blue vehicles are beautiful. A little over 30 years ago

I bought my mom one of these for her birthday: https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1756390/1979-ford-thunderbird-for-sale-in-addison-illinois-60101 .

It was 12 years old, but it was in perfect condition, and she wanted it. She loved the combination of sky blue and white.

It was certainly easy to spot in parking lots. And she always got compliments on it, including from teenagers carrying her groceries out to the car.

She kept it for years, finally sold it to a guy who planned to show it.

Since then I've felt sky blue with white is great for cars.

Also ice blue. My sister had an ice blue Austin-Healey like this one:

[we can do it]

4. Orange

[Haggard Celine]

6. Me too.

And we're all getting sick of orange.

[debm55]

54. Agree.

[Coventina]

22. Orange is my least favorite also.

Plus, I look horrible in it.

[debm55]

55. It is really hard to carry off wearing something orange.

[Ocelot II]

5. I love all colors as a general proposition.

Some colors don't do as well as others on particular things (interior decorating colors of the '70s, for example - orange and avocado green are not OK on carpeting or appliances), but all colors in the abstract are beautiful. Orange is great on flowers; avocado green works on - avocados. I love green; it's the color of life. If you go into the woods there are more shades of green than you can count.

[PortTack]

21. Same

In any art form painting, weaving, knitting, embroidery… any form to exclude a color would be losing a whole palate that accents brighter colors or mutes them.

color combinations when used by the trained eye….is masterful. Maybe it’s more the way the color was used rather than a dislike of the color itself.

[debm55]

56. Agree with you. It does matter were the colors are, Some colors work well outside but not on

clothing, walls, or inside the house. Indoor lighting can have an effect on the colors,

[Cartoonist]

9. Maroon

Red wannabe.

[debm55]

57. It can depend as a have a room with dusty blue walls and maroon trim. I would not want a rug or

whole wall painted that color.

[vlyons]

10. yellow I can do without

Green and aqua are my favorites.

[debm55]

58. Yellow is very hard to carry off. On flowers, yes. On clothing or walls, no.

[LakeArenal]

11. Green is my favorite.

I hate brown. Not fond of grey. Beige-ugh.

Just started liking some shades of orange.

[debm55]

59. Good. We each have our own taste. I guess my dislike is for the bright green, which to me an outdoor

color.

[LakeArenal]

76. Green doesn't go with everybody's skin tone so to wear green is different than seeing it.

But in Wisconsin green is the color of spring and every shade of green is present in the trees as they bud out.

[debm55]

77. agree

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Blues and purples.

[debm55]

60. I agree with the purple--it can be overwhelming. I don't like straight blue-has to be muted.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. all the yucky yellowish green and greenish yellow shades.

as well as many shades in the purple family. Dark and bright purples are fine but after that, no.

[Ocelot II]

16. The '70s must have been hell for you, if you were old enough then

to appreciate the awfulness of those colors in home interiors.

[yellowdogintexas]

26. bingo!!! nt

[debm55]

61. Had those colors in my family's kitchen--stove and refrig. Yuk

[elleng]

14. Ditto green.

Favorite blue VW blue lagoon metallic.https://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Volkswagen/2001-Volkswagen-Jetta-Blue-Lagoon-Metallic-Clearcoat-LA5H.html

[debm55]

62. Sounds very nice.

[Polly Hennessey]

15. I love green and yellow. My least favorite: mustard.

[LakeArenal]

19. Used to work for Century 21 with those hideous mustard blazers. Argh!!!

Not good on anyone.

[debm55]

63. Agree, too bright.

[claudette]

17. Mine is

kelly green. I like all other shades of green, though. Red is my favorite color. Always was and I think always will be.

[debm55]

64. That is the color I dislike to bright.For Christmas, I always liked a dark green and burgundy

[claudette]

79. Yep

🙂

[PlutosHeart]

18. Barbie pink.

Have disliked this color for as long as I can remember.
Other pinks also with the exception of that soft pale ballerina pink.

[Archae]

25. I agree 100%

[debm55]

65. Me too.

[northoftheborder]

20. Purple

[debm55]

66. I agree, to me it is fine as an outdoor color, doesn't work on clothing or walls and heaven forbid

carpet.

[electric_blue68]

23. As a colorist in digital art, earlier drawings, and when I painted I like to love many colors....

Done mostly B&W drawing in past 25 yrs. Would like paint with physical paints again.

I love in various degrees the fully saturated color spectrum, printer's magenta, along with some favorite shades, and pastels.

Perhaps some greyed greens, and greyed beiges would be distasteful to me.

[debm55]

50. I don't like straight colors, but that is just me. To me, they are too strong. I do like colors that

have a dusty hue.

[electric_blue68]

67. I love them because they Are strong! It's also nice to have a few delicate pastels (I think of dawn)

and some nice shades to contrast with the saturated colors. 🙂
Which is why I like a dusky pink, or dusky violet. Also a dark shaded purple. Olive.

[debm55]

68. electric_blue68, isn't it nice that we are able to express our preferences without the mean remarks.

We all have our likes and dislikes. I like muted colors and you like the strong. I honor your opinion. The world of Art, color and design relies on the person doing it. Thank you for sharing. I respect your opinions and you.

[electric_blue68]

69. TY. It's often good to have a variety in The Arts. So 👍 for your choices.

[Beatlelvr]

24. Any form of orange

Peach, coral, etc. Looks like crap in ANYone.

[debm55]

49. So true.

[madaboutharry]

27. Mauve, I hate mauve.

[debm55]

48. I sort of like Mauve--has the dusty tone to it. Strait pink NO

[Phentex]

28. Kermit green to be specific ha ha

I love all shades of green. I think Kermit is kelly green.

[debm55]

47. Maybe as a piece of clothing, but to paint a room-no.

[zanana1]

29. Orange

I don't know why.

[debm55]

46. Me too, Just don't like it.

[Emile]

30. Gold, same color as piss.

[Fla Dem]

31. ORANGE, even before it was associated with the Orange Cheeto.

[debm55]

44. Yes, I put orange and green in the same yuk category

[Niagara]

32. Baby Poop Green and Red.

[debm55]

43. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[area51]

33. Not real fond of pink,

though some of the dark pinks are okay.

[debm55]

42. agree.

[Luciferous]

34. Orange is my least favorite

[debm55]

41. Yep, I don't like orange make-up either.----

[ailsagirl]

35. Definitely green is my favorite.

Plus, I have green eyes. 😎

[debm55]

40. I like dusty colors, not bright. Green is okay if it is not the bright green.

[ailsagirl]

75. No bright colors!! I hate bright colors, too

Even if they’re green.
😎

[Upthevibe]

36. debm55...........

Pink. I've never liked that color.

I remember when I was a small child my mom painted my room pink and I threw a fit!

[debm55]

38. We have a dusty pink bedroom. I like dusty colors. Straight pink I would dislike too.

[csziggy]

37. Purple - had it inflicted on me my entire childhood and until I left home

It was my spoiled little sister's color so she had purple everything. Once my two older sisters left for college and I got the "big" bedroom, I wanted to paint it blue. It was vetoed since it was to be my little sister's in five years and she wanted it purple. So I got the live in a purple room for five years.

Plus relatives who couldn't remember what I liked gave me purple stuff all the time. For my high school graduation some gave me a whole desk set all in purple. Guess who got to keep it?

When I say "purple" I include all the shades and values of the color, from lavender to deep dark purple. It just brings up so many unhappy memories of childhood.

[debm55]

39. Sounds familiar. Sorry for the purple and the unhappy memories.

[Mad_Dem_X]

70. Pea Green

[debm55]

71. Yep.

[ironflange]

73. This one, Pantone 448 C

[highplainsdem]

74. Dislike bright orange, yellow and pink (dusty/pastel shades okay). Love dark green -

hunter green and emerald green - but dislike drab or too-bright or yellowish greens.

[thatcrowwoman]

78. Chartreuse? Pepto pink? Orangey reds? Tough call.

The chalky pepto-pink feels seasick and squishy, totally nausea-inducing.
Chartreuse is so loud it makes my head ache, which can become nausea-inducing, with auras.
Orangey reds are blood & fire, war & destruction, unending fighting. Chaos. PTSD. Despair.

It’s not the fault of the colors, it’s the way I feel them.
Seems I’m wired that way.
My olive complexion may have something to do with it, too.
Some colors just don’t go with me.

[tblue37]

80. Purple. It doesnt do it for me.

My favorite is orange, then red, then yellow. I like most colors, though.

[RobinA]

81. Teal

I totally hate teal. In any form. There is no good teal.
