Red certain shades. More toward wine color is bearable.

many shades of orange


Bright, acidic oranges. But I love earthy tones, laterite, ochre.

I love the feeling that the combination of pink and green creates - this combination is very popular in Pakistan Image

Basically any neon color, especially highlighter yellow. It will literally make my skin crawl. Certain patterns(especially in certain colors, and textures) will make me sick.

Bright yellow and pink both get to me pretty quick, especially outside, I wear sunglasses %100 of the time outside, but even with them on yellow quickly becomes overwhelming...

There are various colors that can actually make me ill, but I think this is due to synesthesia and what they taste like.

I've known people to have a "colour aversion" (which I believe is what this sensory issue is referred too) to Yellow before.
I know someone with AS who *hates* yellow and says it hurts. This topic totally reminded me of that.
