The terribleness of yellow

I think this is a rule: unless you're painting the curb, don't use yellow, ever. Don't wear it. Don't make me try to read it. Pick something else -- anything else in the world.

Fashion or natural law?

Also: Coldplay has a song called this.

Yellow always = sickness to me, especially after I read "the Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Yellow belongs on the Simpsons.

Maybe in nature it is a colour of warning - I am toxic?

blount has made the only convincing argument for the color yellow that I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE EVER SERIOUSLY OMG I HATE YELLOW SO MUCH.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Thursday, 9 September 2004 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I kinda enjoy it myself. It's not like I wear yellow trousers and such.

― jim wentworth (wench), Thursday, 9 September 2004 03:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have maybe one item of yellow clothing, I hadn't really thought about how it's not that nice a colour. I do like bizzaro Yellow Lantern though.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Thursday, 9 September 2004 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I do have this one yellow and white striped shirt that goes kinda well with black. So I'm a big hypocrite.

Apart from being the weirdest costume ever, that's kinda cool. But the guy in the background wearing yellow and khaki = dud.

one of the hottest girls i have ever seen in my life was in line for a show at the pompidou rocking a yellow skirt so i say yellow stands for y as in yes.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

you mean YESSSSSS.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I do kind of like the font on the Astros uniform, in a kind of an "Awww... did they cut that out from construction paper all by themselves?" kind of way.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

god that girl was so hot

Did Goethe not postulate that YELLOW and BLUE were the two primal colors in Nature?

YELLOW is also closest to WHITE.

YELLOW is gross to eat around.

― Crap Bootie, Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:35 (twenty-two years ago)

But red is warm and inviting to eat around. So the yellow-red color scheme of McDonald's tells you a lot about the food.

Did Goethe not postulate that YELLOW and BLUE were the two primal colors in Nature?

I don't know my Goethe, but that sounds like crack smoking to me. Surely the two primal colors are blue and green.

Paris rawly waking, crude sunlight on her lemon sreets.

[...] The lily / and the olbique light / become a single breath / of yellow praise.

― youn, Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:39 (twenty-two years ago)

this one's pretty fucking bad too.

― derrick (derrick), Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, YELLOW is not that gross to eat around to me. Smells are really what makes eating gross or good.

You know why McDonald's has those "Golden Arches?" I wonder why the hell they are YELLOW?

Subway is gross, and they are YELLOW too.

YELLOW is urine and maggots.
YELLOW is gold and Swedish Fly Girls.

I like YELLOW.

― Crap Bootie, Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:43 (twenty-two years ago)

YELLOW is gold

no, it's yellow. People call that awful off-yellow orangy shade of yellow "gold" sometimes, but it ain't.

― Tonight at ten (kenan), Thursday, 9 September 2004 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

GOLD is based on YELLOW though. A shade, right?

Gold is based on this:

has naught to do with yellow.

"Gold," on the other hand, is noxious.

Yellow and bright blue! Ken has found the worst color combination possible!

Actually, I don't mind blue with a tiny bit of yellow.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 9 September 2004 07:45 (twenty-two years ago)

xpost. As a Norwich supporter I agree with the awful-ness of the strip. Maybe that's why no-one buys replica shirts... that and Norwich being awful of course.

you just made Pele cry. well, that and the fact that he can't get a hard on.

to wear yellow and look fab, one must be of a tan complexion

Lemon pies and butterflies
Yellow submarines
Corn on the cob and tangerines
I like yellow things

That ain't yellow my friend.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 9 September 2004 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah I love that bit.

It's from the song "I Like Yellow Things" by Bobbi Blake. They're the only lyrics I can find online right now though. Does anyone have more?
