Which SU Colors Do You Never Use?

[peebsmama]

About a month ago, I posted a thread asking what your favorite SU color was - which you used most often. Looks like chocolate chip was the clear winner.

Now I'm curious which SU colors you never use. For me, it's Glorious Green and YoYo Yellow. I still have the original 3 sheets of cardstock of each of these that came with the cardstock variety pack I bought in 2005. The YoYo is just too bright and I have never been able to get it to work with anything. The Glorious Green, for me, is just awful. I don't even want to try it. The ink spot has been used just once, to create my ink index, and it hasn't been opened since. I don't think the marker in that color has ever been used either.

Which SU colors do you not like and don't use?

I can't wait to hear what people say on this one. I am too new to answer

I use glorious green for Christmas cards and St. Patrick's day cards... The real red combo with glorious green come out nice for Christmas.

I hardly use blush paper...I use the marker to color "skin" but the paper I just don't use it.....

[SCEmily]

I don't (or very rarely) use Green Galore, Gable Green, YoYo Yellow, Only Orange, Glorious Green, Handsome Hunter, Orchid Opulence, Brilliant Blue, Cameo Coral, Pixie Pink and Pink Passion. Can ya tell I don't like most of the Bold Brights?

[cjbapp]

I rarely use any of the bold brights. My original pack of CS with the three sheets of each is mostly intact. I have used a little blue, red, turquoise and orange, but I doubt the rest has been touched. I do mostly rustic and distressed, and these don't go at all!

[strappystamper]

Bold Brights...I only like Real Red and occasionally Only Orange, but I usually try to use Pumpkin Pie instead!

[scrapbuknTI]

I havent used yo-yo yellow.

[JennyN]

I don't use Orchid Opulence. I use all the other colors for matting in scrapbooking, but don't use the bold brights as much in card making. I also rarely have used going gray.

[klhbenson]

hum...I think they're all beautiful...but there are a lot of colors I don't seem to use.

brilliant blue
glorious green
caramel
yo yo yellow
sunshine yellow
bordering blue
romance rose
going grey
natural white
natural ivory
mellow moss

[jkstieber]

I have probably used every color in scrapbooking, but the colors I rarely put on cards are mostly earth elements. I love the three browns in that group, but I can't stand cameo coral, summer sun, and more mustard. I'm also not that crazy about our current burgundy.

Oh, and also not a big fan of yo-yo yellow, but I do like glorious green. I like putting it with black or chocolate chip.

[Lazorkay]

anything pink or purple

[klhbenson]

isn't that funny! I reach for more mustard all the time. When I first saw it, I thought it was an ugly color...but it makes such a nice accent with so many colors! I also LOVE cameo coral...especially with lovely lilac! lol

[momis mama]

i am still collecting...

but of the ones i already have, i don't use much 'really rust'

[c-mouse]

LIke others, I don't seem to use bold brights ( unless it is red or blue) on anything....I also don't use the summer sun or cameo coral from the EE set as ink though I do use it in paper rarely.
I use most of the Rich Regals( even though I dislike purple in any form) and the Earth Elements( all except the above named). I am not a SS person....and rarely use any of those....I bought up some River Rock and use that a bunch but if I absolutely need a pastel, I will go find it at LSS and buy only what i use up.

[pixley]

I never use Pale Plum, Blush Blossom or Handsome Hunter. Like someone else said I might only use Glorious Green at Christmas or St Patricks Day.

[flaxychick]

Handsome Hunter is my least favorite. I almost always buy the assortments, so I probably have about 10 sheets of unused HH. It's pretty strange because green is my favorite color to use in cardmaking.

[isewquilts2]

I don't use Bold Brights either--with one exception (and it's one of my faves), real red.

[sprtchick]

Most of the Bold Brights are neglected in my stash. My fav two color familes are Earth Elements and Regals.
Love all the in colors..
Blessings.

[windycitystamper]

This may be a slight hijack, since I'm not answering the OP's question, but...I had some colors that I wasn't using and I used my color coach to choose some complementary colors and then made cards using those colors. Also, I'm going to post a card I made that would allow you to use ANY color you didn't really like in a "supporting role!". Might take me a few minutes, but if you go to my gallery, it will be the "Thank You" card. (apologizing in advance because my gallery is pitifully small...I'm not great at uploading...but at least that should make it easy to find the card I'm talking about!)

[Erin K]

I don't use HOrrid Orchid.

I didn't care for that Cranberry one that was out a few years ago.

and I don't like the Rich Regals as a whole, but use them all sometimes as accents.

[austamper]

Other than Elegant Eggplant, I rarely use purple. I'm just not a purple fan!

[thechecker]

In markers, I think the Bravo Burgandy is pure brown and not reddish at all, so I hate that.
In cardstock, I am kinda sick of all the soft subtles. For now anyways. LOL.

[MWDStamp]

I like most of the Bold Basics and have used most of them. My dislikes are More Mustard and Really Rust. The rust color reminds me of this hideous couch my mom had when I was growing up- yuck. But I must admit I am trying to use more and more color combinations that are outside my comfort zone. Even doing that I am still not sure I'll ever use rust.

[laredostamper]

yoyo yellow, brilliant blue, and glorious green. blechh.

ok...it's now in my gallery windycitystamper's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I used rose red, barely banana, and then cameo coral (which I hardly ever use) in the supporting role. So pick up those dreaded colors and make something with them!!

[lutheran]

Never use -- Blush Blossom
Rarely use -- Lavender Lace (how many purples do we need?)
Apricot Appeal
Almost Amethyst
Pale Plum
All the other colors get used regularly so that's a pretty return on my investment in inks and papers.

[allee's]

I never use Glorious Green, Green Galore, or Gable Green.

[DisneyDoll]

I'm not much of a Bold Brights person. I think the colors tend to look too pre-school for my taste...though they DO have their uses, I'm sure!

[happyinker]

I really dislike Bold Brights... I use them for my sons' crafts.

[sv133]

When I went to my very first SU demonstration I thought the Rich Regals would be the best color family to buy. And, even though I do like most of the colors, I just never use them. I never use the 3 blues (bordering, ballet and ???). I don't even own hunter ink. I agree that the burgundy ink looks like brown mud. I hardly ever use eggplant. I love rose red, regal rose, saffron, artichoke. I use them alot.
Unlike most of you I do use alot of bold brights. I make alot of cards for kids (mainly girls) so I use pixie and passion pink alot. I love orchid, especially with cool caribbean and black (I stocked up).

[airbornewife]

Mine is nearly the entire Soft Subtles color family.

Pam

[StampinforHISglory]

That is so funny that people dislike the bold brights - I LOVE them!! They are so happy and uplifting - The colors I rarely, if ever, use are:
Going Grey
Sage
Blush(love the marker though)
Cameo Coral

Is Stamping Up! reading this thread?? I can't wait to see what they do with the color groups when they reorganize them to incorporate the new In Colors that were popular!!! I feel it in my bones that the reorg. is coming soon!!!! and I can't wait!!

[Suzy_H]

I don't care for Yuk Yuk Yellow. I don't think I have ever used it!

[richey_kane]

These are the colors I hardly ever use:

going grey
bordering blue
orchid opulence
really rust
not quite navy

[rogers2345]

Primary like colors. I tend to love different shades.
Shelley

[Laurie FW]

Wow, I love the bold brights! I use them the most! (Yo yo yellow looks terrific with passion pink and the greens you all hate, BTW!)

I hate bravo burgandy, handsome hunter, bordering (boring) blue, and blush blossom (I use the marker all the time for skin color, though!)

[Babsnelson]

There aren't many I don't like, but these are the ones that come to mind for me:

Not Quite Navy
Handsome Hunter
Orchid Opulence
More Mustard

I know there are more for me....but these are the big ones!

Mine are almost exactly the same, except I do have a bit of a fondness for Cameo Coral.

[Lisa Loiselle]

I tend to go through stages with colors. I used bold brights almost exclusively when I started. Now I tend to reach for regals & subtles. My least used colors are glorious green, brilliant blue, summer sun, the plums and sahara sand.

[beadfreak22]

I hate to be unoriginal, but the colors I rarely use are Green Galore, YoYo Yellow, and Only Orange. I'm also not fond of Creamy Caramel and Bravo Burgandy.
