The UGLIEST COLOR COMBO CHALLENGE - that's a good one. Shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. No brads or embellishments, no ribbon. Just honest to gosh ugly colors - at least 2 layers, up to 5 ...what do you think ladies??

:shock: I am just in shock over those who dont like Taken With Teal...am I reading that right?? I am cutting into it right now to go with Choc Chip and Pretty In Pink for the Loves Me DSP from last V Day...and it is simply 2 die 4 lol
I hate Bravo Burgandy and Handsome Hunter. They are so 1990 to me...
I'm probably alone here, but I really don't like 'groovy guava' - it's like a peach 80's bathroom, you know?! Now I've seen it pairs with a strong second color like purely pomegranite and then it looks ok, but on it's own or with anything pastel, I just DO NOT like it!

I used to work at a print shop and one of the cheap colors was salmon and groovy guava looks just like salmon.
So I'm not terribly fond of it. But I see AWESOME things done with it so I try to give it some measure of respect.

I love this thread!
For all y'all who don't like the BBs, I used to HATE them--esp. yoyo and orange (I hate orange on principle and in general). But when I tried using them with white card bases as mattes for BB stamped images on white, I changed my mind. When the card is mostly white, the colors look cheerful and nice, and don't make you feel like you're being stabbed in the eye. JMHO
I'm not too fond of old olive and more mustard. In fact, the only earth elements I use on a regular basis are the three browns. The rest I could do without. I also don't like bordering blue and only orange.
Love some of the other colors mentioned like teal, sage shadow and glorious green.

I've actually used a surprising amount of Orchid Opulence cardstock. It's not my favorite color by any stretch, but it does have its place. Here's a swap card that I made with it that was well-received:

Yall can send all your Blush Blossom and Sage Shadow cardstock this way...I love those colors!!!!!!!!
My least faves (there are a lot):
Only Orange
Yo Yo Yellow
Brocade Blue
Lavender Lace
Pink Passion
Bashful Blue (I know...I know...)
Bravo Burgundy
The other 2 blues in Rich Regals...don't like any of 'em.
ETA I forgot about Orchid Opulence!!!!! EWWWWWWWWW
I'm with everyone on Glorious Green. I ordered a pack for Christmas cards, duh. Didn't even use it. I think I will have to make St. Patty's Day cards just to use it up!

I must be different. I really like orchid, it is such a happy color. I don't use a lot of blush blossom but I like it. If I had to choose a least favorite that is not and in color (Guava is an ugly color and a yucky fruit) than I would choose cameo coral. I just don't like corals but it did look beautiful with turquoise on one of my scrapbook pages.

Blush blossom is a great color! It's great with chocolate chip. It's great with groovy guava and creamy caramel. And how do you color light skin tones without the marker?
Colors that I'm not fond of:
glorious green
orchid opulence
lavender lace
brilliant blue
bravo burgundy
bordering blue
handsome hunter
pixie pink
add me to the Handsome Hunter haters group, not a fan of Orchid or lavender either. Luckily Magenta is out of the picture and I no longer have it to worry about either LOL I will say, I kinda used Mint melody and liked it on beachy cards
this is so funny to read what everyone hates!!
I am a yo-yo yellow hater...it's too yellow...too bright!
I don't think I have ever used bravo burgandy or handsome hunter either...not my favs!

But nothing can redeem orchid. Blech!
This thread is hilarious! Love all the from-the-heart passionate responses! :twisted: yo-yo does indeed make me feel like I've been stabbed in the eye!
I really don't like Pink Passion or any of the bright pinks, but I find myself using them a lot because my granddaughters absolutely love them. Pink Passion & Green Galore - my granddaughters can't get enough of them.
Yo-Yo yellow! I completely forgot about that one. I don't think I have ever cracked the package open! I will have to check! I was so stupid when I started buying from SU! Instead of just getting the combo packs to see what color I liked, I bought EVERY color.I sent Orchid Opulence and Pink Passion back. Wish I had done the same with G.Green , O. Orange and Y.Yellow. I must have been sleeping when I saw these!
