Red.
It's so loud, obnoxious and in your face, I hate it.
It's only somewhat acceptable on very small things, tiny accents etc.
And I have a theory hear me out: no car in the world looks the best in red, there is always another color that looks better. Yes, even Ferraris and Alfas. Prove me wrong.
When light gray is used for a background to call it a "dark theme", instead of just going #000000
Holy shit I had that very thought like two days ago. I always hate people who go on about favourite because well, I love all colours, really. Yeah, even beige or greys can be beautiful in the right context.
And so I thought to myself, "now hate, that would be interesting to know the reasons!" This is gonna be a fun read.
And to contribute I don't have a hated colour either but I do remember being absolutely annoyed at CSI Miami egregious use of colour contrasts. Like Nick with his red (orange) hair vs his blue clothes / eyes. The lab with its purple vs yellow hues. And I do remember a great episode where it all happened in the jungle and it just kept on hammering red vs green. It was funny at first, but it was so unsubtle, it really got to my nerves after a while.
Yellow is meh
Love brown though
Neon/fluorescent colors. For a highlighter color, sure in small doses. For everything else... It's not for me. It just overwhelms me.
Brownish green
No hated color, but I dislike the number 6
I've always distrusted 3
I always wondered what mak numbers attractive or districting. Did you ever found why you dislike it ?
How can you ? But 3 is the best number. With 9 which is 3x3
Yellow. 1-star
D:
What is this Brown you speak of? Do you mean Dark Orange?
Brown doesn't exist. I'm with you.
Brown doesn't exist for RGB LEDs. Agreed.
I really like this trend I'm seeing about posts asking for least fav things. Personally, mine is:
Red
Am bull
Yellow
my least favorite is approximately #e3ff00
also i dislike grays becsuse they're in so many places they have no business being in, gray is too overused.
i love cyan, light bluish green and turquoise. purple is fine too, pink is ok. weird yellow green is not a good color.
I used to love grey. And then sometime in the mid-2000's, automakers decided that they loved it too. And every damn vehicle on the road was grey.
Then, we got a new CEO at work. And he thought our facilities needed a refresh, but shouldn't look "institutional".
So every damn surface was painted grey with a darker shade of grey for the trim. It felt like I was working on a WW2 battleship. In black and white.
Now I can't fucking stand it.
Shouldn't look too institutional so he went with grey? I associate grey with institutions so heavily. It's cubicle color.
That said, I'm a huge fan of the old great society era government building style
0% saturated grey. Blue grays can be cool
I don't know if I have a least favorite overall - there is a color between brown and green I find distasteful but there are colors I like but not for certain things.
I cannot wear orange, or coral. They make me look like I am green and sick.
I can't stand red on walls. We moved into our house and the kitchen was painted red it was almost offensive. I think they were going for "Tuscan" . My grandma's house had a Red Room and I never liked it either.
Floors should not be gray planks pretending to be wood but clothing in that color can be so beautiful. I have a gray silk cami and it is like liquid mercury looking, so pretty.
Orange. It's the "please look at me" color, it's grating and annoying
My house had really gross almost nude colored accent walls and doors. It was awful. I painted over it before I moved in so I wouldn't have to see the disgusting color every day.
The upstairs bedroom of my old house had that interlocking bead board siding and was painted “sphincter”. A light pink with a hint of brown. It was something. With all the crevices it took a lot of work to paint it blue.
I hate the way magenta reveals the subjective nature of how we interpret wavelengths of light as colors.
That mustardy-green color from the 70s and early 80s. Just looks weird on furniture.
Just murky colours, khaki or camo or anything actual Murky or Lurky would wear, from Rainbow Brite, because I just look at myself and still say, yuck, you look like Murky and Lurky. Fun fact, just realised I named one of my kids after one of the colour kids! Another fun fact, when I was 3yo, I decided I was done with my home and I was running away to live with Rainbow Brite, I patiently waited for a Rainbow to appear in the sky, grabbed my favorite toy, said sorry to all the ones I had to leave behind, walked to the end of the street and, then realised I could go no further because I wasn't allowed to cross the road, so I, defeated, returned home.
Love little ones that when asked their favourite colour say “rainbow”
