Blue lin gives me 70s leisure suit vibes (sorry).

Glycine, looks like something dead. Or maybe undead.
Even owning something in the color for years now, I really struggle with vert anis still. I think it's more ok-ish on chevre, but it's hard to love in togo. It's just a weird, swampy pea-green, but the chevre seems to make it look brighter, peppier. Anything that leans towards brown/tan/gold/brown-ish is a no-go for me with fashion/accessories
I have a hard time with Pinks. I don’t consider Rose Extreme the worst color ever but do not care for it.
Bleu Jean. It’s just so dull to me.
If I recall, this color had SUCH a moment back in like 2008-2011? I was never a fan but I remember it being absolutely everywhere and people being just mad for it!
I might be having an age-related hallucination, but I think I remember @Megs having a fantastic story about a member-enabled BJ B acquisition back around the time I joined TPF circa 2009. (Searching yields no results to confirm this but I have noted that older posts seem to become un-findable sometimes after system upgrades.)
Would anyone actually wear that shade of jean these days? Yikes!
Colours I actually don’t care for :
- Mauve Sylvestre / Somehow doesn’t look classy
- Quebracho. / Thai iced tea, which I also hate with a passion.
- Crevette / How did that get into production?
I remember this! It was considered a must-have classic color. The idea was it was as classic as denim, a casual, wear anywhere color.
IMO Bleu Jean can look good in photos but IRL it's ...insipid....and looks NOTHING like denim.
Around 2010, I was in Hermes looking at SLGs. The SA brought out something in Bleu Jean. My immediate feeling was, nope, not for me and I declined it. The SA then said, "Are you sure? Everyone wants this color"!
Vert Criquet is maybe the worst colour Hermès has made. I also am not keen on Soufre, Vert Absinthe, or Jaune Bourgeon (this colour always makes me think of Les Mis, because it sounds like "Jean Valjean" 
). Those all remind me of baby sick.

Too funny @r luvs h. IME baby sick has a rich and diverse colour spectrum, and was never limited to those hues.Vert Criquet is maybe the worst colour Hermès has made.

ETA to stay OT - Glycine.
