Do you like colors only in certain shades?

For instance, I really like burnt orange, a very dark orange almost copper, but I am not a fan of regular orange color. Same thing wit red, a big fan of maroon, but not just plain red. Do you feel similarly, where you just like certain shades of a particular color? Why do you think this is?

Ah, colors. Yes, I do like certain shades. Some greens and yellows are sickening to me, I hate the neon shades. I like dark rich colors, I like a light rich shade of pink, green, blue. Orange and yellow are not my colors, maybe because I was born a redhead, and as most people know, orange and yellow make some redheads look sick...in my case, really sick. I am very white skinned. The color I have grown to hate for walls and houses and such is gray. Plain, dull, gray has been so overdone it's silly. We have entire subdivisions of gray homes! Every house...it's boring and depressing to me. Some gray is fine and pleasing. An all gray home or whatever is not. I got so tired of off-white, white, or plain dull beige, but this gray thing is very depressing to me. I like some color in my life.

You are right. There does seem to be alot of gray houses these days. It isn't one of preferred colors either, but I don't hate it for a house.

@snowy22315 A good friend painted every single wall in her house gray. Every single one. It's just too much.

I do love burnt orange and aqua blue and maybe fire red. I think most colors are better when they a bit twisted. Haha. I think blue is the coolest color on its own, but black is always cool even though they say that is not a color. Its a color to me.

I don't seem to like overly bright colors for some reason. Pastels can be petty, but I don't normally go for those either.

@snowy22315 I agree, I like the darker shades except maybe for blue, but has to be subtle. Bright colors are bright and they hurt your eyes. I like things that make my eyes relax.

@crossbones27 Yeah, maybe that is a reason. Not really a fan of yellow for that reason I know.

I think most people are like that. Like with green, some greens aren't pretty whereas the green I see in nature is beautiful.

@snowy22315 fuchsia reminds me of a Filipino joke. A asked B what’s her favorite color. B said fuchsia. A asked if she could spell it. B tried to spell it but couldn’t and so she finally said her favorite color is pink.

I like the lighter colors a lot since it is easier on my eyes than dark colors.

Yes I am so picky this way. I love baby blue but hate navy blue. I hate red pretty much every shade it but love almost every shade of pink. I hate mustard yellow but I like pastel yellow.

I try to like all colors. I use to have a great liking and interest in this as some coloring of hair in the salons required great precision.

Some colors I do not like at all. I like the bright, bold colors.

Good question. Please come over here and help me figure out what color the outside of my house should be. Maybe contrasting blue colors? Light blue on top and something deeper but not navy on the bottom?

@snowy22315 Blech on pink. This old house is white with gray right now. It needs an upgrade.

I like clear, bright colours. I'm not so keen on murky, muddy shades. And I can't wear orange at all. It makes me look really awful.

I like the light shades of blue, pink, orange but don't like grey except when it's in contrast with some other colour.

I don't favor gray, but some charcoal grays are OK. I have a pair of gray slacks I quite like.
