your most hated SU! cardstock color
I am assuming this has already been asked, but recently I was making a card and came across my stash of GLORIOUS GREEN cardstock. This is my one cardstock made by SU! that I simply hate. I will use it for Xmas cards, but that is it. I like just about every other color (well...except for Only Orange, but that is because I am not an orangey person).
What about you? What do you find just sitting in your stamp room, unused and gathering dust?

Sage Shadow is mine. Don't know why, but I can't stand it!

Yeah....that Glorious Green sure is an annoying color, but I think it just has to be used sparingly. Other than that....I think Blush Blossom because it's so...blah. But I'm going to start doing all the old color challenges to use up some of my stash of SU! CS!

I thought it was that horrid orchid color.
but I was seeing what I need to reorder and I am totally and completely OUT of that color. I find this shocking to me. I refuse to order more, apparently if I have it on hand I use it.
I have TONS of sage shadow. I'm not against that color, I looked at it and it's fine, but apparently I don't use it ever.
Stupid orchid color. I guess I should order some.
We should figure out an "ugly color share". Nevermind, just thinking of how to work that hurt my brain a little.

I will agree with Blush Blossom. I have to say I dislike intensely Taken With Teal. Even over Glorious Green. So in that order, those are the least-likely- to-ever-make-it-to-a-card-from-my-hands colors.

My least favorite would have to be Yoyo Yellow. I've never used it and I can't foresee using it in the future! I'm also not too fond of Glorious Green, Summer Sun, Brilliant Blue, or Ballet Blue.

I purchased a combo pack of all the color families so I at least have 3 sheets of every color. If I liked a color well enough, I ordered the ink pad and a pack of card stock. When I run out of almost all of the colors from the combo pack, I order another combo pack!
The color I just can't seem to use is Taken with Teal - and I love bright colors!! I'm also not much of a More Mustard fan, but I will use it for masculine cards.

I love bold colors, but not the overly bright ones. So I really dislike Only Orange, Taken With Teal, and Yoyo Yellow. :p

YoYo yellow, summer sun, glorious green.
I can't believe so many people hate blush, try it with Guava, you'll like it!

I should say that I can't include any of the "In Colors" for I won't purchase any of them so can't say if those are great or hate!

My vote is Glorious Green and frankly the YoYo Yellow and Only Orange is a little " BRIGHT"

Mint Melody does NOTHING good for me...can't even come up with a good use for it at Easter!!! Not terribly keen on More Mustard, either.

Erin K-
Try your Sage Shadow with Brocade Blue or most of the SS, Earths and navy. It has been one of my go-to colors for years. I love it with the naturals and just monocromatic with cream, not white.
It is so funny to see people list your favorites in their least fav's! I can't beleive the number who said Yoyo,Sage and Sun! Wow. I think that is the fun of seeing other people's work....inspires you to try their views on things!

Glorious Green is my least favorite SU color. I don't think it looks good with any of the other colors.
I am okay with Blush Blossom. I tend to use it as a neutral, though. It is too wimpy to stand on its own.

Stupid orchid colour... yech....! I TOTALLY agree! And I even have a full size ink pad of the stuff. What was I thinking...
Sage Shadow and Blush blossom... I'm with you on that too! But I will try Sage Shadow with Navy sometime. Meanwhile, I think a cardstock trade would be fabulous, except for postage, when it's only worh 30 cents a sheet or something.

Jumping on the bandwagon with the glorious green and yoyo yellow gang...as well as the icky purples in the BBs!!
That being said, sage shadow is one of my faves (especially with really rust and choc. chip) as well as blush blossom for a neutral.

MINT??? MINT??? I NEED mint paper. I can't find ANY. I saw these great colors on a table in Chilli's resturant. Hold on let me get my cute notepad where I write these things....
Ok these are the colors:
tan (that one in EE I was thinking was close, the lighter of the three browns)
red (real red)
MINT
dark brown (chocolate chip)
cream (like vanilla)
but neither me or my LSS has anything close to a mint green.
So those of you who have it can you make a card with those colors so I can see if it's as great on a card as on tiles on a table?

Glorious Green and Yo Yo Yellow. Nothing makes these look good. I don't really like Taken with Teal either, but I have seen some great cards made with it.

There is no telling
OH the best part, look on your color wheel for what it tells you to use with horrid orchid: Hansome Hunter, rose red, brilliant blue and compliment with yoyo yellow. I will dig my eyes out if I'm forced to make a card with those colors.
If you have and it worked i'd seriously love to see it. NOT to make fun of you, I'd like to be proven wrong.  __________________ My Blog My Gallery All dog's feet smell like Fritos. I know you don't believe me, go check... See, I told you so. |

As far as colors go, I hate old olive, always artichoke, and mellow moss type colors, but when it comes to cards they always work. It seems the more I hate the colors or the combo, the better the card turns out - if I use stuff I love I am never satisfied with the card...I love all the rich regals except bordering blue is a little blah. Taken with Teal is gorgeous to me - but as an accent mat, not a whole card. I just used all my sage shadow and bashful blue in one sitting...so its time to order more...

Handsome Hunter is my least favorite. Followed closely by Orchid.
I'll take all the turquoise and yo yo yellow from everyone though. I've been on SUCH a yellow kick lately! Almost every card I've made in the past 2 weeks has yellow on it. I must be craving sunshine!

I found cards with mint melody in the gallery, it looks fine to me. Is it super brighter in RL or something?
