The world's Ugliest Color

Post Reply New Topic

I didnt know that there was a color that could be...officially declared to be...the world's "ugliest".

But apparently there is. And it's saving lives by reducing smoking.

Fun concept. Thanks for sharing.

Now I know what colour I want to paint my next car.

Interesting video. The guy looks like the comedian Sean Lock who recently passed away from cancer.

What ever you do don't mention the colour black to this guy. Not sure if anyone's familiar with The Fast Show

Call it by it’s real name, turd brown.

For anyone who doesn't want to sit thru the long video, it's Pantone 448C.

It's a lot of talk just to get that one simple piece of info. (Yeah, I totally don't get the videos! instead of text thing.)

Exactly.

He never even mentions the obvious! That obvious thing that the color might remind folks of (consciously, or unconsciously), nor the fact that that might well be...why humans evolved this supposed dislike of the color...out of the animal instinct to avoid our own solid waste.

Interesting aside- it is also is very similar to that color you get when you mix ALL colors of paint together. That muddy brown with a hint of green.

Its only five minutes long. And its good background info, and not filler. If you cant sit through THAT you wouldnt be able to handle reading text either.

Reading the same in text wouldn't have the pauses, side-tracks, & random stuff. 5 mins of fluff is not needed.

I really can't stand videos, & I know I'm not the only one here. I read quite a lot, actually. Even modern video documentaries are frequently too repetitive.
