What colors do you despise for BMs and which ones do you love?

What colors make you go Ugggghhhh! What colors make you go AHHHHHHHH!
I know this is totally personal taste and as a disclaimer I would like to add that I don't mean to offend anyone and I acknowledge that what I love might be what someone else hates and vice versa! I also acknowledge that my taste is simply that, my taste, it is not better or worse than anyone elses so don't get upset with me.

I love:
-Golds and Ivory
-Deep Reds
-Pairing of light blue with white (for a summer daytime affair)

I hate:
-Lavender, Purple, Plum, Mauve, Lilac etc.
-Navy blue
-Hunter Green

Re: What colors do you despise for BMs and which ones do you love?

I like dark colors, wine, hunter, purple, navy.

I don't like brights and I think the last color I'd put my BMs in would be pink.

Just MHO.

I love the gray dresses, especially if they are that brocade look. So gorgeous!

My girls are wearing deep, dark purple.

Re: What colors do you despise for BMs and which ones do you love?

I think all colors can work, it depends more on the fabric and style of the dress that it's paired with.

But I do tend to gravitate towards black and browns.
