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.

All colors have their place. I love them all. Except maybe a really pale purple. Who needs that?

[–] Soku@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Me, I do. I need all the purple and lilac shades. Brown on the other hand...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Brown is legitimately one of my favorite colors, especially for clothes and...well...most other tangible items. Deep down, I think you understand and resent the fact that having brown beside it is one of the only ways your twisted pale purples can look halfway decent.

My clothing is mostly black with bright red, blue or purple accents. The accessories tend to be similar colours. I have not owned anything brown for at least 35 years, from the age I could start making my own decisions.

The only brownish thing in my flat now is the flooring and even that is more yellow than brown.

We have radically different different preferences

I love a pale purple. I prefer a nice cyberpunky eyebleed bluish purple but a nice pale lilac is beautiful

When light gray is used for a background to call it a "dark theme", instead of just going #000000

LAVENDER fuck lavender
hate it get some saturation the matter with you

edit: oh no sorry beige, fuck you get some hue as well. Why they keep making baby clothes these rank desatured hues is beyond me. If you're in a store you can clearly see at what age/size children start to choose their clothes as well from the sudden color explosion.

Yellow. Especially on cars or t-shirts. Just...bleh.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

I hate colour palettes more than specific colours.

And yellow brown green earth tones are at the height of dislike.

Literal puke piss and shit colour everywhere. Gross

Idk, brown? Actually, the color I love the most, I hate the most too. Cyan disrupts your circadian rhythm.

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.

I don't ever find myself wanting anything that is pink. I really think most colors are pleasant and have their place. Pink just gives me a sense of... needy? Overbaring and loud, i guess.

Neon/fluorescent colors. For a highlighter color, sure in small doses. For everything else... It's not for me. It just overwhelms me.

[–] Manticore@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My favourite colour is bright orange, like candy. Followed by bright yellow, like canary feathers.

The colour I hate is the nasty pumpkin-flesh yellow-orange ochre that exists between them.

Probably makes me hard to buy for that people think they're getting me a nice orange thing in 'my favourite colour' 🤮

The color that came from space, it fell one day from the sky, or from… somewhere else. It got into the ground, the plants, the water, the animals, and… and us. It changed things, mutated reality around it, turned them into a form more like where it came from. I can’t picture it when I think about it, the color, it doesn’t exist in the human mind, it doesn’t belong here, but I still remember seeing it… and I can’t forget what it did. I’m still not sure if I ever got away from it, if you can get away from it… It was a color out of space…

Nic Cage did a film version of that and it was actually pretty good.
