Is there a color you dislike?

Baby pink is a color I don’t like, and I often don’t use it in anything I make. I don’t know why I don’t like it, but I don’t think that it matters why.

In art I find it can be a powerful tool to use a color we dislike. It may feel uncomfortable, or not possible. I encourage you to lean into the uncomfortable, however if it feels too hot to touch or difficult in a way that feels overwhelming choose any color (it doesn’t have to be one you dislike if its bringing too much spice in the moment to do so).
