The world's ugliest colour

[tyred]

I remember a schoolteacher with an Opel Kadett in what can only be described as sh!t brown. GM had some strange colours in those days. What is worse is that people must have bought them or they wouldn't have been offered

Look at any colours from the Austin Allegro range for a guaranteed palette of nastiness... baby diarrhea yellow, burgundy bandit and dog cr@p brown

Not so. You are confusing"worn by the world's ugliest teams" with ugliest colour.

Nope.

Big girl's blouse!

Take it you've not figured out the list then....

Not to say you're wrong though!

Is it light pink or dark pink?

Kelly Green, Olive Drab, Hunter Green or Lime Green?

And are they in the left or right pocket?

I once had to paint someone's house in drab olive. Pretty unattractive but it was in a very urban area, and hid the inevitable exhaust and grime stains that it would collect.

Is that the resulting expression?

Cigarette companies spend a lot of money working out which colours draw the eye and which fonts make you smile. They create associations between the various indistinguishable products and different aspirational life styles. I can still picture the jet set lifestyle in the ads for Peter Stuyvesant, the brand that killed my grandfather, or the quiet dignity of Hallmark, the brand that it took my mother a hard year to free herself from.

An unappealing colour will only do so much, but I am glad the same sort of effort is being put into making packaging unattractive as making it appeal.

Now let's wrap cigarettes in the same coloured paper!

That was called "Sand Glow". My dad had an Austin Princess that colour. Superb car, superb colour.

You'll be needing some matching footwear, won't you Sir?
