Puke Green. It's fucking hideous.
Pretty sure I've seen shag carpet from the 70's in that exact shade.
It's a weirdly common color for interior paint jobs in old houses, too. Kitchens and things.
Also "salmon". I mean, who looks at the inside of a fish and thinks, "You know, that would really look great against some ultra white trim."
You get shades of this as a Material You color theme in Android when setting your background to trees/greenery...
Has puke ever been that color outside of cartoons?
Yellow. Almost all yellow painted/colored things make me mad. Yellow flowers do not have the same effect, however.
So years ago I was into mountain biking, and decided I was going to buy a decent bike, well the model I liked was sold out but the guy said " if your ok with yellow I've got one in the back we can't sell" ended up getting the bike I wanted, in yellow, and he gave me $50 off. I started telling everyone yellow was my favorite color and at this point it really is. It's fun cause it is probably the least favorite color so I'm constantly find things in yellow when the other colors are sold out,also yellow things end up in discount bins. It's been 25 years now and I honestly get a happy feeling when I find something I want in yellow.
Yellow is my favorite color.. Sure, there are a lot of bad yellows out there, but the good yellows are lovely
I think it might be the same for me. It's like the hardest for me to see and just thinking about it makes me squint my eyes because of its harshness.
I really like this trend I'm seeing about posts asking for least fav things. Personally, mine is:

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.
There is a reason why mixing paint at random will result in roughly the same brown every time. Basically, all paints are combinations of different pigments, no paint is “exactly red” or “exactly” anything. And those not-exactlys mix up and give you brown all the time. I also hate it the most.
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!
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.
I hate the way magenta reveals the subjective nature of how we interpret wavelengths of light as colors.
Mental health yellow and green. That stupid mint green. Please never show me those colors again
This color:

No reason.
I hate yellow so fucking much.
I strongly dislike red unless it is a pinkish or purplish red in which case I really like it. I will agree that beige is boring but I don't hate it. Otherwise I like every other color, including stereotypically ugly colors like puke green.
Octarine. Some people say it's beautiful, but I just can't see it
Millennial gray is my least favorite color
And what shade of grey is that?
That mustardy-green color from the 70s and early 80s. Just looks weird on furniture.
Dark yellow! Yellow is inherently bright and sunny, when you try to make it dark it becomes a hideous contradiction.
We just call that brown
Brown is a whole range of colours. Beige, for example, is not dark orange, is it?
What colour are #6e6e19 and #e6e686?
Look at a color wheel and select orange and change the parameters for darkness you’re gonna get the brown
You again are saying that "dark orange is brown" which is not the same as saying "things which are not dark orange (such as dark yellow) is not brown."
They're definitely not any kind of green lol. I can find you a different colour categorising website to say they're brown if you like though
https://colornamer.robertcooper.me/
They are categorised as "brown" and "tan" in the basic categorisation.
There is no way I'm calling literally dark yellow "yellow-green" as it's no more green than bright yellow.
What color is #654321 according to you? Oh wait, it doesn’t matter what you think it is. Consensus says dark brown
You can't convince me that something is not brown by pointing to things and saying they're brown. Imagine if I was trying to prove that a whale is not a mammal by showing you all kinds of land-dwelling mammals and saying, "no, this is a mammal" as if many examples of land mammals means that there are no marine mammals.
I am not, and never have, said that dark orange is something other than brown.
Here is a proper article about the perception of brown which states very plainly:
When red, green, or blue are dimmed, the resulting dark hues still retain perceptual elements of red, green, or blue; only yellow changes categorically, to brown.
And by the way:
Semantics
Yes, this is a conversation about semantics - that is - what words mean.
This is not about burden of proof, it's that you're trying to establish that brown is not dark yellow, which is not possible by giving other examples of what brown is. See: the example I already gave.
As for correct terminology I gave you a peer reviewed citation for mine so I'm content with that. You show no sign of even having read it so goodbye.
What is this Brown you speak of? Do you mean Dark Orange?
Yellow. 1-star
yellow
it's aggressive, but not in a good way, like red
Yellow is my favorite color. I've been told that it is the color of creativity and intelligence.
I've also been told that it is a color of anger though.
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.
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.
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
Dark yellow. Rare color, but ugly.
Pink. I really don't like pink, nor most red shades.
Pastels, can I just loathe all pastels? Because I do.
I particularly dislike that Pepto Bismol Hot Pink color. It hurts my eyes to look at it. It's tacky, it's gaudy, and the fact that it causes me actual physical pain in large enough quantities is enough for me to dislike it.
That is a much difficult question than I initially thought. I think it is the high saturated slightly dark orange. Mainly because I do some design works, and it is bloody difficult to find a matching color. So far I found only white or black.
When light gray is used for a background to call it a "dark theme", instead of just going #000000
