Colours you dislike

I don't hate any colour, but I do have issues with:

certain colour combinations, though the contexts and precise shades play a part in how intensely. The one I have in my head right now is that (to me) revulsion-inducing combination you get in daffodils of that very specific dark stemmy green and sickly yellow. Neither colour in isolation would be a problem, it's seeing that rawness of Spring's birth pains in a queasy combination that it's hard to make 'eye contact' with. Nearly that time of year again, I shall miss winter as always. With its tastelful muting of colour splashes and greater sympathy to my being more optically soothed by a world of subtler tones and softened hues. 

Needing my home environment to have warm colours - all part of a vital cosiness. A nice warm grey is simultaneously like a needed eye-bath once home from the sensory overoad of 'out there' and just a way to feel softly warmed rather than cooled by my living space. . I can appreciate other environments and things suiting blue (which can even look curiously warm with enough saturation), and after all I wouldn't change a thing about the now-definitive colour for a police box. 

Artificial rainbows. The real ones look just fine as nature knows how to make them subtly shaded, with each 'band' in its right order, translucent,  and phased into at the edges. But ones where a child, for instance, has just taken marker pens and jamed umpteen contrastive colours one against another in a random oeder... that just hits my optic nerves all wrong. They were inescapable during Lockdown, with one shoved in every window (all in a good cause, I do realise!). Many good causes - eg. LGBT advocacy- have (for understandable symbolic reasons) rainbows, and so my slight recoil at the colour aesthetics ultimately matters not one jot against the societal progress being made and the structural inevitability of that spectrum embodiment being the best way to say (importantly, if garishly) all are welcome. Long may my eyes be mildly inconvenienced if it helps us keep going forward as a progressive and inclusive society. :-)
