Dislike of the color yellow

Post Reply New Topic

I like the colour yellow but my brain doesn't. I even have a yellow Hufflepuff shirt.

I remember reading a book in the first grade that had yellow predominantly in it and I got a headache and felt nauseous looking at it.

Yellow/green has bothered my brain for a long time so now I wear blue tinted Irlen lenses in my glasses. They make so much difference. Everything looks like the proper colour it should be but I no longer feel overwhelmed by the environment, especially in shops.

Bright orange offends me so much that I fear it.
Yellow is bothersome unless it's soft like butter.

Yes! I particularly dislike VG's Sunflowers.

My grade-school art teacher was obsessed with Van Gough. Particularly Starry Night. Could do a doctoral thesis on it from her alone. But I never really liked any of his other pictures because of the constant yellow in them. I once heard an art history professor that Van Gough possibly had epilepsy because he was so fond of yellow and people with epilepsy crave bright colors.

I don't like the colour yellow. It's wrong to suppose that all ASD sufferers don't. Yellow is disliked by people with sensory issues, particularly with light. Not everyone has this. You are never going to find two people with ASD that are alike. There are lots of variants and nuances.

I like yellow too. Spotting someone in yellow trousers is a good omen in my book. Revolting dress sense but it says something about the local culture. I hope I see some today, then all is good with the world

Well this thread is old and I've matured (and liberated from other people's opinions) since then. Yellow is one of my favorite colors now, along with orange, green, red...etc. My whole family dress in bright fun colors since I'm the one buying clothes, and I like everything now. I have almost no black, gray or beige clothes, even though they're neutrals. Just too boring.

A happy ending!

Yellow may be one of the least common favorite colors among people in general, in western countries. I don’t think it’s particularly linked to autism and I suffer of sensitivity too.

Yellow is my favorite color.
Purple is my second favorite color.
Blue is my least favorite.

Yellow is also the color of my comfort food : nuggets (I now eat vegan nuggets), french fries, bread, cheese and salted biscuits.
I like the taste of lemon too.

I like bright and "warm" colors and I also like grey and black (no matter if it’s boring or not).
I dislike "cool" colors.

I've heard it's one of the least-liked colours for autistic people. It's something about the light waves or our sensory system getting overstimulated, or something. I wish I could remember where I saw it. I like very light yellow in nature but I'd never buy or wear anything yellow. It's offensive to me somehow, like bright orange.

I only wear muted colors, but I love flowers of all colors.

I used to wear all black, but I like garish colours too, and olive drab.

Yesterday, my friend was wearing yellow trousers. They weren't too ethnic looking, or too banana coloured; they were a chino cut, and the colour had faded, you might say, they were as right as yellow trousers could be. Worn with a grey shirt, they didn't look at all clownish or pretentious but rather demure. Combined with the fact that it's good for your environment as well as your own personal karma, I think one can make a very good argument for branching out in that direction during infancy  or after a certain age.

i like yellow, silly of me
once i had a yellow coat, then i felt too visible with that

and then i got another yellow peruvian wool coat/jacket

somehow...
i had the most useless crush on someone with yellow pants,

Him?

But...but...it's destined to be a sudden craze....and it's gonna be the very next phase!

This makes me kind of love you.

My Uni flatmate Katy had the most delicious buttercup yellow shaker knit jumper.

I wanted it so badly.
