I too am sensitive to certain combinations, - especially purple-lemon yellow (yakk!), - but I chose "other color not mentioned". While I actually like cobalt blue, I can´t wear it.
I feel sweaty, dirty and puffy, when wearing that color. :scratch:

I'm not especially sensitive to any particular colors, but I find that bright light really really gets to me, especially if I'm sitting in a dark room and there are lights power lights shining on my electronics.

I'd say that blue, white and yellow are tied for me.

Any of those three that are bright.

Even some light purple colors can get to me.

I dunno, I think maybe just any bright color bugs me.. Especially if its flashing.

Parts I found particularly interesting:

"researchers have found that many children with sensory disorders see colors with "greater intensity" and so bright colors may appear "nearly fluorescent," making pastels much easier on their eyes."

"Kids with sensory issues may have problems with bright colors such as red, orange, yellow and purple, as the brightness can be too intense for them. Bright white can also be disturbing to kids with sensory issues and may increase anxiety. When colors and patterns are too chaotic or bright, it creates a very distracting environment for kids with sensory issues, according to the "Implications" newsletter."

I'm very interested in how this could relate to sensory processing disorder, because that is what I suspect it is in my case.

White is kryptonite for me. Get anxious and fatigued. Don't like bright colours. Black with a little red in is really pleasurable for some reason.
