The Worst Hermes Color EVER!?

Since every color someone dislikes means more availability for those who DO like it, I'm going to add to my yuck list Quebracho, Chai, and Vert Criquet. None of these are as bad as Crevette, though :P
Crevette is bad as a colour and colour name. Of all the rich, beautiful French vocab, why crevette? I look forward to seeing someone ordering an SO with colour: crevette and mushroom. :biggrin:

This is not the worst colour, but the worst colour name - magnolia.
It has recently been the season where magnolias were in full bloom, they were predominantly white or cream (admittedly the outer parts of the unopened buds are not) and possible because 'magnolia' got such bad press as putty-cream decorating colour, it is always a surprise to me that Hermes magnolia is such a vibrant pinky-mauve.

Look up Chinese Magnolia/Saucer Magnolia - I believe that is what they are referencing with this color. Most magnolia varieties in the US are white, but you find the pink ones here as well (though more rarely and intentionally planted).
 
While some people can rock it, these two colors are NOs for me: Lime and Vert Criquet. Lime-is just too bright for me and I feel that it overpowers everything---one's personality, jewelry, shoes, watch, and everything else about someone! Plus, I will have a hard time matching that with my wardrobe. Vert Criquet-reminds me of the color of green phlegm or snot! :lol::no::yucky:

Ah now Vert Criquet reminds me of those 1970s green bathroom suites (showing my age here!) avocado I think they were called and pretty sure my Grandmother had one at one point :lol:
