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

What is this Brown you speak of? Do you mean Dark Orange?

[–] Roopappy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Brown doesn't exist. I'm with you.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 3 points 2 days ago

Brown doesn't exist for RGB LEDs. Agreed.

Yellow. Almost all yellow painted/colored things make me mad. Yellow flowers do not have the same effect, however.

It"s all about the medium its on though. I was about to say bright green as there are these houses nearby of this playground bright green color and I hate them but then a thin leaf of the same color is absolutely beautiful. So it really depends what's being colored.

Octarine. Some people say it's beautiful, but I just can't see it

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah it's overhyped for sure. It's just kinda greenish yellow-purple.

Brownish green

[–] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I used to love grey. And then sometime in the mid-2000's, automakers decided that they loved it too. And every damn vehicle on the road was grey.

Then, we got a new CEO at work. And he thought our facilities needed a refresh, but shouldn't look "institutional".

So every damn surface was painted grey with a darker shade of grey for the trim. It felt like I was working on a WW2 battleship. In black and white.

Now I can't fucking stand it.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shouldn't look too institutional so he went with grey? I associate grey with institutions so heavily. It's cubicle color.

That said, I'm a huge fan of the old great society era government building style

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it made the same amount of sense to us.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

bugger green.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

since i got into art i don't dislike any colour, i do dislike how they sometimes get used though - puke yellow-green might be ugly as the base, but as a highlight to something green it's very pretty!

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

That mustardy-green color from the 70s and early 80s. Just looks weird on furniture.

Mine is also brown, but I'm ok with wood and trees that are naturally that color: I just hate the thought that people would paint things/dress themselves in such a depressing color.

: wears all black, ironically:

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

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.

Fuscia actually hurts the eyes

[–] hkspowers@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

Whatever that color scheme is for all the US national parks. They picked the ugliest shades of brown and green I have ever laid eyes on. Every time I go to a national park, the facilities painted in those colors gives me a deep depression...

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

100 % salmon. Unfortunately one of my neighbours painted their entire house like that and it pisses me off every day walking my dog.

You know when You have a couple different leftover paints but You need to paint something bigger and You don't really care how it will look? So You just mix them all together with some white and slap that on? It never comes out as a pretty colour, always some vile shade of brown. I once rented an apartment clearly painted like that. Every wall was the same colour. Pale, pinkish brown.

Grey.

Everything is fucking grey these days. It's the only colour they seem to know to build with. Need to paint a window, door, fence, any portion of the building that isn't brick? Grey!

Bloody miserable.
