I'm personally not much of a fan of orange or purple.

I loved purple when I was little, but these days I think it's overrated.

GardenStateGirlie 02-19-2004 10:14 PM

Orange. And yellow. I would never wear either color....unless the yellow was pastel.

And Jake, quit lying...everyone knows your bachelor pad, accented with the lovely purple teletubbie, is purple. Embrace your inner lover of purple.

GypsySorcerer 02-19-2004 11:13 PM

Any shade of orange

Most yellows

Citron green

Actually my dining room chairs have purple in them, and the Stevie Edge single pic hanging above it is mounted on purple. Other than those, purple is just plain wrong. (You know, like all the spackled ceilings you have in your JerseyPad.)

I'm noticing a pattern here, folks. Anybody LIKE orange?

We are guilty of having the popcorn ceilings...but it's in the hallway upstairs and in the living room...and the upstairs bathroom...and the downstairs bathroom...and the laundry room....so...um...not EVERY room :nod:

If purple is wrong...you don't wanna be riiiiight....

You know what other color I don't like? Brown. I don't mind wearing brown or a variation of brown but as a color in general it's just...bleh.

xdreamsunwindx 02-20-2004 01:44 AM

I love every color except dark purple and lime green. Problem is, I can't pull any of them off. I only look good in Black and Red. If I wear White, I look washed out. If I wear green, I look like a leprachaun (I kid you not). Yellow makes me look like I'm gonna heave, etc...

DrummerDeanna 02-20-2004 07:20 AM

I can't stand any type of pink, my dislike for the color has increased since this one girlie in my English class drapes herself, her books and whatever else she has on her person, in pink..it is disturbing...not to mention she's not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree...anyway...

I also am not a fan of any pastel color, they gross me out.

laurie816 02-20-2004 07:26 AM

Teal...My mother went through a teal phase once...EVERYTHING was teal...even when she remarried, my maid of honor dreass was...you guessed it...shiny electric teal. Made me look pale as a ghost. Picture big hair (it was the early '90's) big poufy short sleeves and a teal flower stuck in my hair....I looked like a refugee from an '80's nightmare:laugh:

Wow, you wouldn't like my house! My living room is red and my bedroom is periwinkle blue. And for good measure, my daughter's room is BRIGHT pink on the bottom half of the walls, then there's a purple border with flowers/butterflies, and the ceiling is sky blue!!

Colors I DON'T like: orange and yellow

DrummerDeanna 02-20-2004 09:32 AM

Hmm..a lot of non-orange fans. I actually don't mind orange...and I find it amusing...it's my four-year-old nephew's absolute favorite color!! It's so cute...he LOVES anything orange...in fact he just got orange bed sheets and curtains, and they painted one wall in his room orange and got him an orange desk chair lol...he loves it...but it doesn't seem like a popular color...

DeeGeMe 02-20-2004 01:26 PM

Orange. I just can't stand it. And I look horrible in it too. It could be that it clashes with my auburn hair. I'm not fond of lime green or taupe either. But would y'all please stop bashing pink? I really love pink!

macmar71 02-20-2004 07:32 PM

PINK
TEAL YELLOW/ORANGE HUES
PURPLE
FIRE ENGINE RED

dissention 02-20-2004 07:52 PM

Green. I once had a client who hired me to do almost every room top-to-bottom and every f*cking room in her house was green; no wonder she needed my services. :laugh: Green makes me ill. If someone invites me over and I walk in to find the place green, I'll walk out. :laugh:

wondergirl9847 02-20-2004 07:57 PM

Orange

Brown

Yellow (there's no font color for yellow. LOL)

Those are really the only colors I'm not crazy about.

Oh, and pink I'm not nuts over either.

jadegypsy 02-20-2004 09:34 PM

colors
 
Least Fave
To wear: Orange, Yellow, certain shades of green.
Light/Baby pink (gag me) think it's due to being constantly called cute and assumed young so anything that makes me look younger is out.

Overall: Light pink and pea green, they are just not for me, pink is way to soft and pea green is just yuck!

No worry. If all you wear is black and red, just raid Stevie's closet. (I think there's a red scarf or something hidden somewhere with all that black.)

Teal sure was trendy for awhile.
My friend Leslie was maid of honor at a wedding where the colors were shrimp and teal. Imagine the dresses.:cool:

I once dated a girl who was nuts about orange. Today I like them equally.:rolleyes:

Green is maybe my favorite, but it has to be the right shade. My couch is sherbet green, and the carpet is the color of Crest toothpaste. The other furniture in the room is spray painted he color of peas, the canned kind. I'm totally messing with you about all this (Feeling queasy?:wavey: )except like I said, forest green is maybe my favorite color, and I like to wear olive.

I think perky shades of green (like sea green or toothpaste green) are even worse.

I'm glad you're joking. Ick, that would be like the baby diarrhea room.

Downstairs in the rec room (TV, couch, two lay-z-boy chairs...I don't know why we refer to it as the rec room) the carpeting is forest green, one of the chairs is green and the couch has some green in it as well. I? love that room.

I will never forget babysiting for Kate (my old Spanish teacher). The people that lived in her house before she did painted the master bedroom AND the ajoining bathroom SEA FOAM GREEN WITH SPONGE PAINTING. She did eventually paint overtop of it because it made her nauseous. Sea foam green + sponge painting is just a double whammy.

jadegypsy 02-21-2004 11:19 PM

sea green
 
actually sea green doesn't bug me too much, as long as it's not in massive quantities.
I do however love it's cousin aquamarine.

pianogirl04 02-22-2004 01:25 AM

Wow, neat trends. People hate pink and orange and some greens.

For me, it's this hideous shade of pink/orange that my mom was obsessed with when I was little. I had jumpers, shorts, shirts, blouses, shoes, underwear, you name it in that ugly color and HATED it and still do to this day. She says it looks good on me. She loves it. I can't stand it.

I do like pink somewhat... but my ultimate favorite, next to black, is purple. Blue is another one of my favorites...

I'm not much one for orange, but it's okay. I actually used to like seafoam green and became persevered (?) with it when I was about 7. I don't really like it that much anymore either. My other ultimate non-favorite color is red - can't stand red. At all. I mean it's okay if you contrast it with blue pants or something, but I would scream if I had a red backpack. It just screams "fear" at me.

And hey - I fixed the link down there. *points* :nod:
