i don't fancy H pink in general too, the childish pinks like sakura, bubblegum, rose, confetti, lipstick, shocking, etc. some dirty greyish pink like dragee works for me, but tosca is not in my fav range
High five! I love my kiwi kelly! Such a happy color. I somehow like it when things I want /love are not others' favorites meaning higher chance for me to be able to get one!
Btw I have BJ as well! It was my dream birkin color back when VB was always carrying hers. Too bad the 35 seems too big to carry now.
I see posts all the time from people listing their favorite color. However, I don't see anyone telling their LEAST favorite! What was your least favorite, and why? Did you buy that color and it just didn't work?
Mine is Bamboo.
I had a Bamboo B35...and it sat in my closet unused. I used it twice and sold it. The color just wasn't me. I found it way too bright and greedy. I didn't wear that bag, it wore me and screamed like a banshee when it did.

Aww, I love Bamboo! To each their own, though. My least favorites are probably either Parme or Ultraviolet. Some purples look "cheap" to me, while others are beautiful.
As a guy, you were pretty brave to try it anyway.
IME, women tend to experiment more earlier on and so weed out those colours that may appeal to their eyes but don't work IRL or with their wardrobe/climate.
Bambou is not that loud TBH. Rose Shocking, Rose Lipstick Bleu Zanzibar, Granny and Lime are way more out there, even Capucine, Orange Poppy, Rouge Vif and Soleil and Bleu Electrique in Epsom command more attention. They look amazing on some people all the time and on on many more in the right locations (climate)
Everyone has colours that don't work for them, I'm wouldn't look good in Bleu Lin, Glycerine, Tea de Bois, Sakura, Gris T etc. But then I wouldn't shell out a packet on a bag that I wasn't sure wouldn't work for me, for that kind of investment I'd have to be sure. In fact, I wouldn't buy anything in a colour I wasn't sure of.

Alezan. The only other time one will see that color is in a baby's diaper.
They wouldn't work for me either. My mother on the other hand, like some of the lucky ladies here, rock the clear purples, violets and bright roses
Thank you for that. And you’re right, compared to the colors you listed, bambou isn’t as loud as others. Sometimes you just don’t know until you have the color in front of you.
The difficulty with a general thread regarding most loved or least loved colors is that we don't wear these bags in isolation. The bags are part of the larger canvas that includes our age, lifestyle, geographical location (i.e., colder/warmer climates/time of year), skin color/tone, etc. The diversity of colors/leathers of H is amazing. Fortunately, we are all spoiled for choices to add to our list of HGs.
For example, I love the contrast stitching on a B because I see it as a more casual bag and love how it highlights the lines, however, I think it would distract from the more formal K. I (50+ yo) cannot see myself confidently carrying a neon green or pink handbag, yet love the pop RC gives to a monochromatic outfit. The more recognizable B in etoupe lends itself to busier outfits, as well as monochromatic ones. I also love the surprise of bright colors in slgs when I peek into my bags.
