Is there a color in home decor that you simply cannot stand?

I can't stand the color peach.

 

Never seen it done well  (in my opinion only, of course!) in home decor. 

 

There are other colors I would never use, but really can appreciate when others put together great looks with it, but I can never get past the color peach. 

 

Without getting hurt feelings,,,,are there colors in home decor that you cannot stand? 

 

I hope I didn't make this post previously. I've thought about it before, but don't remember posting! LOL

I have no blue in my house, none. I don't hate the color , I just don't like it in home decor.

Agreed on the olive green.  I like lime green as an accent color with teak furniture.

In the 1970's it was the color "Mauve".

 

That Color, was all over the place.  My Mother, could not stand the color nor could I.  I swear, all of my friends Mothers, had their homes decorated in "Mauve"!  

 

I remember my Mom saying, "All her friends homes look the same"...All were done is "Mauve".  One of her friends even painted the outdoor trim of her house in "Mauve".  It was "Hideous".

 

To this day, I still can't stand the color "Mauve".

Blue! ....... Everything used to be country blue.  I cannot stand seeing it in decor but can wear soft or bright blues.

Yellow.  Don't have anything in my house that color. Won't wear it either.

Re: Is there a color in home decor that you simply cannot stand?

I love mid-century modern design, but I hate the goldenrod and pea/avocado green colors that so many designs used. I grew up in a home with goldenrod appliances and that pea/avocado green was in the wallpaper and linoleum. I prefer more vibrant shades, in general. Those shades just seem to suck the life out of me.

 

I do like brighter greens, like the more lime greens that are popular in retro MCM design.

I don't consider white a color, but for me it's white.  I don't have a white wall in my home.  I prefer warm colors.

RED.  Even seeing one wall in red on TV makes me edgy.  Living with it would drive me nuts.
