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?

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!
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.

Oh my gosh...you are cracking me up! Thanks I needed that today.
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!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Bold brights!!! I'd trade ya in a second!! In all fairness, I guess the main reason I love BB's is because I love the primary school colors... ;)
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.
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.

Oh Yuuuuuuuck! We should start an ugly colour challenge to see if anyone can make these strange combos beautiful!!

Ewwwwww! What a combination!! All I can picture is a wild vivid floral arrangement that went horribly wrong...

You are TOO funny!! Now I want to go to Chili's to look at their table!
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!
