Olive green and rusty orange together or separate.

I don't like two different prints together.

I love olive green! Pretty with any pastel. I don't like bright colors especially lime green and bright yellow.

A big no to orange.

 

Love pinks and greens.

LOL ... ITA ... with one exception. 

 

Years ago I had a co-worker with natural red hair, light skin and freckles.  I couldn't believe it, but she looked great in brown, rust ... and olive green.  It really, really looked great on her.  She's the only person I ever saw that  ... she actually made that color look good.

@Tinkrbl44    Undoubtedly because red and green are complimentary colors.  They enhance each other.  You often see redheads wearing green, but hopefully not olive.

Orange is not a color I will wear.

For the most part, I don’t care for 2 different solid colors together unless there is another print piece that pulls them both together (unless one of the two is denim). Otherwise, I prefer the column of one color (except orange, lol).

Re: Are There Any Color Combinations You Dislike In Clothing?

@Kachina624   Even as a child, I disliked olive.  You are funny,

                    "It ought to be banned".

 

                     Today we went to our grandson's  21st birthday

                   party. Can you guess what color dress I wore?  That's an easy one, turquoise.

                

                      I took my Dooney & Bourke Janine bag that I

                    probably have had for about 20 years. It looks

                    like Spring. It has a white background and a floral

                    print of small flowers in pink, turquoise, yellow,

                    purple and soft orange.  The two rolled handles are

                    natural color vachetta leather.

     

                    It will go with many solid colors in clothing.

                   I have not thought of using in many years. I think

                   that I have too many bags.

@Foxxee  I have always disliked Olive green. My daughter and her daughter love olive and sage.

 

   My grand daughter's wedding is next Saturday and her bridesmaids are wearing sage green. Yuck!

@Carmie   I don't like those colors either. My daughter likes and

           wears those colors and they work for her.

 

    She is an autumn. She has olive skin that tans in one day.

 

    I'm a Spring with light skin tone. I could never wear those colors.
