Vivid or Calm?

Autonomistic

I've noticed a few discussions recently which mention colours. Colours in general are very important to me. I've seen it mentioned that autistic people have a preference for blues and greens and I would agree with that personally. I cannot imagine a world where everything were shades of grey or beige Neutral face

This piqued my curiosity about preferences in relation to the 'Vivid' or 'Calm' colour choices we are provided with on this website. 

My preference is most definitely vivid. I find the calm option harder to see, to the extent that it feels as if it is hurting my eyes if I try. Which one do you opt for?

Clicking the button to switch quickly between vivid and calm induces a physical nausea sensation in me. Does anyone else experience this?

    But then I am very sensory seeker.  My favourite colours are pink and purple, so it works well for me.

    I struggle with yellow, though.  I get very uncomfortable in yellow rooms and feel like I need to get out of there.

    I also like shades of grey too, though.  And the different tones in grey, like it's a bluish grey or a greenish grey or even a pinkish grey!
