Personally they give me dreadful migraines. Do bright, bold, or vivid colors effect you, and if so, how?

I like bright colors. My favorite colors are bright orange, neon green, and electric blue. Hot pink is also good. I don't like pastel colors.

Depends on if it's just one bright color, or multiple. And if there are multiple bright colors, what the colors are.
As a whole, I can usually tolerate them but I don't prefer them. (I never wear bright-colored clothing, for instance.)

I am easily distracted by them. Bright, colorful lights are amazing. But when it comes to clothing, I prefer light colors. I intend to buy a white suit as soon as I have the money.

Good question!

I love lots of bright colors, but at least five. 2-3 colors seem drab to me, but a few combinations (like green/brown) are very soothing and make me feel happy. 1 bright color, en masse, such as bright red or yellow will make my head ache.

This very thing came up the other day. My niece was complaining about how her son didn't want to go to preschool anymore and couldn't tell her why. Then she posted pictures of an school event and at least three people commented on the electric blue carpeting, wondering if there could be a connection. I had trouble looking at the pictures but I just thought it was because I also have partial epilepsy. But, on the other hand, I think it's a great, solid color for a woman's suit.

I detest neon green. Some patterns make me nauseous or completely disorient me. Can't stand industrial carpets with speckles. Or checkered floors. Checkered anything is awful. Too many patterns and colors in one place Ackkkk.

In grade school, I had a neon orange folder so bright, you could see the fluorescent lights reflecting off of it and making my face orange as I stared at it.

O_O shiny......

I like bright colors, but if they're too bright, they hurt my eyes.

I love patterns, but I hate bright colours.

I know someone who has a bright pink wallpaper on her computer desktop. Just solid bright pink. It makes my eyes bleed.

I don't make that big of a distinguishment between colors. Whether or not you 'like' a color is really a cultural thing.
Like how pink is feminine and blue is masculine. That's just what society decided at some point. When I was a young child, I didn't see a difference between whether I drank from a pink cup or a blue cup. (But a man told me I had to drink from a blue one, of course.)

Similarly, bright colors are just a different set of colors that fit certain situations and give off certain moods.
{It's a whole different ballgame if you have epilepsy or something, though.}
I assume 'bright colors' are completely different from 'bright lights.' I think most people have an aversion to really bright lights. (Bright colors probably remind them of it and make them not want to look.) However, I am tolerant of most things. If it's too bright, I can just close my eyes.

I chose my current favorite color (because you just have to have a favorite color or you're weird) based on it being unique, but also vivid and colorful (redundant word?). Not because I actually liked staring at that color more than others. I actually do like it more now, since I've reinforced the idea of it being my favorite for years now.
