Dislike of the color yellow

Post Reply New Topic

School bus yellow is hideous. Most of the darker shades of yellow are.

I really love a very, very light yellow. Almost like true sunshine. Pale lemon. Used to imagine I'd like at least a couple rooms that shade.

My room is yellow, with one wall blue... But more like a creamy yellow, fairly pale. I like it, like the sand But I dont like wearing yellow, I find it makes me look sickly, infact I cant think of any yellow items of clothing I own at all.

I dont like neon colours, or pinks or blacks really. I like pale pastel colours, or earthy ones- blues and greens like the sea are my favourite.

Yellow and red make me hyperactive, but I don't dislike them

I don't like yellow. I don't wear yellow. I can have a little part in this colour, but not too much. My room is pink-violet. Yellow is probably last colour on my favourites list.
Some people look good in yellow, some rooms too. So if you want to use yellow, use it, but don't force me to do the same.

I've always hated yellow. My mother did my room yellow, although I begged her to use any other color, for my entire childhood. Her excuse for that now is that when she showed someone my room they always said how bright and sunny it was. I pointed out that that does NOT mean they liked or were impressed by it, just that that was all they could think of to say, but that even if they did like it what did it matter if once a year someone praised the room for 2 seconds when I had to LIVE in it every day and I hated it. Her response was the blank look typical of neurotypicals when confronted with the wild illogic of their ideas.

I really can't stand for that colour (but except with Spongebob, for some reason). Make me feel anxious, and stressed, and overwhelming.
I guess that is the reason I don't like use emojis, lol.

Yellow has been kind of an iffy color for me. I like bananas and lemons (and lemon flavored candies, but never banana flavored) but the color itself would normally be a turn off. However, my favorite character from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Fluttershy, has a yellow coat that's a much softer shade than others.

Yellow is the colour of things to put in my kitchen. I think it has something to do with my mother's kitchen.
Otherwise, I don't care much for yellow. I wish Van Gogh used less of it.

I think yellow is an ugly color for cars. Only taxicabs and school buses should be painted yellow. Poison green is another ugly color.

I'm not crazy about yellow as a clothing color, either. I don't look good in yellow because it makes me look pale. I have fair skin, but yellow makes me look sick.

This is so funny, I hate yellow too and never realised it's a seemingly common thing among autistics. I really hate bright yellow like lemon or neon, it hurts my eyes and gives me a headache. I hate all yellow in general because it's just unpleasant to look at, but bright yellow is a definite no. I always do my best to avoid the colour if I can. It sounds silly, but if there's a variety of options for something I'm going to use (like cups, for example) and other people take the other colours so I'm stuck with yellow, it really bothers me. You'd think I'd have grown out of something like that by now, but apparently not.

Doesn't say in the diagnostic criteria for autism "may hate the colour yellow".

Yellow is one of my favourite colours. I am often mesmerized by bright colours.

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.
