Soft Mint - Diamine

[visvamitra]

This color is really high on my hate list. Not the first, but near the top. It's nightmare. If one day you'll want to make me suffer, close me in a room painted in this / similar color.

Aw, I like that color! But I find the intensity of your hatred to be entertaining.

[Ceilidh]

You made me chuckle. I kind of like soft mint, but I can appreciate your view, because there are certainly a few colors I feel that way about!

[masterguns]

Stop beating around the bush. Do you like the color or not?

[Legal Eagle]

I LOVE that colour. To each their own I guess.

I like that color but I wouldn't want to write with it. Maybe a pen color? My ex's father had a bathroom in his house that was that color - the walls, the tile, the sink, the toilet... Talk about a nightmare. They had another bathroom that was all pink. Eww...

I like the color well enough if I'm working in Photoshop but I wouldn't want to write with it.

I dislike this kind of color too, and every lighter shade of green.

[acute]

Go on, just let it all out!

Good topic, though. I'll have to think, which colour I loathe ...

[Tessy Moon]

I like this mint green color personally. I actually have a really cute flowy high/low skirt that is similar in color, maybe a bit lighter...hmmm maybe I should wear it this weekend, I'll pair it with my light pink cardigan. That would make me a walking nightmare for you probably. Good thing I am on another continent!

 

But I understand how you feel. I feel that way about some colors too. I think it has a lot to do with some negative personal experiences...i.e. I HATE being in a room painted all yellow or all red. HATE. Really Hate. I have a friend whose kitchen is a dark bright bold red, and I hate being in that room....I love the friend though, so I just go to her living room, lol. Yellow walls give me severe migraines like an anvil has fallen on my head. I would NEVER paint my babies' nursery yellow. Soft blue, or lavender, or pale pink, yes; but never yellow.

 

So even though I personally like this color, I want you to know I get it. That strong dislike we have for certain colors, scents, places, or things, we all have those for reasons. (Another extreme hate on my list: tie-dye clothing. A horrid childhood outfit I was forced to wear. Pictures have been torn up, shredded and/or burned. lol)

@Tessy - it's good I won't see you in this spectacular outfit I do agree with you each one of us has this kind of aversion for something

I love this colour, but only if it's for quick writing. I think I'd get sick of it reeeeal quick if I were to use it to, say, write an 8 page essay or something. But this would be a lovely colour to use to edit manuscripts or to use for commentary on someone else's writing. I nice, soft colour that isn't as strict or as severe as a red, when used for corrections.

This has been the most entertaining ink review for a while.

 

I, too, am not a fan of the ink ... but for the passions that it generates, I love it! It's a bit like Donald Trump – it sure does polarise opinions.

 

Cheers,

David.
