Colors of Disgust

I don’t think any colors are disgusting. Maybe like a slimy greeny/yellowy brown? Because it looks like vomit. But that’s a stretch because it depends how the colour is used.​

Green/yellow pigment looks like pee green color. I feel gross looking at this color. It reminds me of bird poop, or bodily fluids in an unhealthy person.

I severely dislike certain shades of brown, because they remind me of human waste, and the color chartreuse, because it’s just so outlandishly offensive to the eye.

Orange, because it makes my skin hue look weird.

I find poop brown and vomit green to be disgusting because they are ugly colors not attractive.

A green that is like yellow green. It is the color of snot, vomit when on antibiotics, and slime. It brings me to a negative connotation, and it’s just not a color that I can like find something I would want in.

I think that disgust is a color in between brown and green. I feel that way because a lot of things I find disgusting are that color and it is an unpleasant color to look at.

Green. It just makes me feel sick. I just think of steamed broccoli and peas which are two veggies I didn’t prefer eating as a child. The only time I ate broccoli is in Chinese food because of their sauces. Other than that, no thanks, I’m good.

Brown because I do not find it as pleasing to look at compared to other colors. Other colors are associated with certain feelings or things. Brown is just there for me.

Pukey green. Green itself makes me think of disgust, maybe from the movie Inside Out (fantastic Disney movie, by the way).

That one green color that’s a mix of green, yellow, and brown. I don’t know the name but it’s disgusting. It’s disgusting for the same reason that kale smoothies look gross, and unfiltered pools, and lakes that are murky and cloudy because of algae.

Green, simply because it represents the color of vomit, slime, waste, and when stenches are portrayed in cartoons, the color is usually yellow or green.

Dark, deep yellow (vomit yellow). It reminds of vomit and myself vomiting so I think it’s pretty disgusting.

Chartreuse (yellow-green), because it reminds me of mucous, snot, and when kids pick their noses, and eat it.

Olive, because it reminds me of sickness.

The color of baked beans because reminds me of chunky vomit.

Brown is a disgusting color to me because it is the color of feces. Certain shades of green are also disgusting to me because they remind me of vomit and boogers. There is supposedly a certain shade of green called “atomic vomit” which my sister wanted to make the color of her room, but my mom told her no because she thought that color was “hideous.” One of our family said that then they first moved into their current home, the walls in one room were “diarrhea green,” which to me sounds pretty disgusting.

Notice what colors remind us of that we decide is disgusting...

How do things become disgusting to us?
