Colours you dislike

I was just wondering if there are any colours that you don't like for any reason,

As for me I really hate the colour Yellow, I don't know why, I don't like bright colours, 

My all-time favourite colour is Blue,  

Do you have any colours you like and dislike?

  • Isn't it odd how many people really dislike green? I know some people think it's an unlucky colour especially for cars, but I've found it a lucky colour when buying cars as I get a good deal.

    Pink seem to be a bit marmite too, but I think pink should be divided into hot and bright, from Barbie to margenta and soft pinks. I remember watching some how to sell you house program years ago and the woman doing it often advised people to tone down their colour scheme, she said a neutral colour is any colour without intensity, I've always remebered that, especially for clothes and furnishings, stay neutral and keep intense colours as accents for things like scarves and cushions.

  • To me colors often taste like fruits that have these colors so pink to me tastes like raspberry, green like apple, orange like an orange yellow like a lemon tee, red like a watermelon or tomato (depends which shade) so I love all colors

  • I can't picture it at all, and even when drawn it makes no sense beyond, 'yes its a triangle' and statistics totally boggles me, if somebody sat me down and drew a triangle and tried to explain it's properties to me, it's like they're speaking a foreign language. I don't know what a drawing scheme is, I try and avoid drawing anything other than a bath, as anything I draw comes out looking like a Picasso on acid.

  • I did have problems with algebra. Anything that is abstract and can’t be pictured is a grey wall for me too. But unlike my other colleagues I was doing excellent with geometry and also statistics because you can picture it. Drawing schemes etc was my favorite thing. 

  • Maybe you should look up synesthesia, it's really interesting and not a lot is known about it, I suspect because it's so hard for people to get their heads around if they don't experience it. I've been surprised when I've found out others don't percieve the world the same way I do, the way that every word has a visual image and if tthey don't "match" I don't understand it, I think it's why I struggle with poetry, the images don't match. For me maths is an inpenetrable thick grey wall with no texture, no begining and no end in any direction, there's no holds for my mind to grasp and explore this space, its like teflon my mind just slides off and feels battered and bruised by attempting to get some kind of grap of it.. Algorhythms are crocdile like, green, brown and snappy, fierce and uncompromising. Tech in general is like a grey, brown vomit puddle, repulsive and stinky, somewhere to gross to explore.

  • For me brown does not taste like chocolate, more like a coffee. Yes, coffee is brown. For me not only colors have these tastes, also numbers 5- raspberry, 7- apples, 9&10 blueberry, 2- banana, 1- watermelon. Geography tastes something like a dill and smells like fresh grass, math is cold and fresh like ice, English is fresh cold and minty. German is salty and crispy, Russian is bitter and a bit sweet sour. Many things at work taste. For example when I have a can of paint in my hands, I taste wept cream, wood tastes like nuts, small plastic bags with something inside like a green cabbage. I touch it and I taste it. Now it’s funny and pleasant but at school it was super hard as the sensation was more intense and I had to use much more energy to concentrate to ignore these tastes and smells I felt there. Solving a math equation often felt like a fruit plate in my mouth. And additionally I was slower to pick and process things so I was endlessly told I have to try harder and it was never enough. I don’t know if synesthesia is a diagnosis, I don’t have one, but some time ago I red about it and was surprised that it’s not “normal” that others don’t perceive things same as me. 

  • Interesting, my daughter has synesthesia, but to her brown for example wouldn't taste of chocolate but something totally random like curtains, her's isn't associative.
