Default Pantone 448c Opaque Couche

Pantone 448c is supposed to be an "ugly" color. Am I the only one who owns fabric in this color and actually likes it? Mine is kind of mottled, but I really see its potential:

Yep, lavenders. In fact, my fabric is mixed a little with purple. I love it!

I didn't know that there was an ugly color, how did they decide that? Looks like it could be a great neutral and work very nicely in all the Modern quilts. Then if I recall correctly I think I have a print with that as the background and then large purple flowers.

That is hilarious. The first coat I ever bought myself was exactly that color. My friends and I used to debate whether it was green, brown, or just dyed with rotten fruit. Lol!

I too, see potential with this colour. I do not think it is the ugliest colour in the world. I do not think there is ONE ugly colour. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder !!

Maybe you need cataract surgery! I thought my suitcase was black. Turns out it is purple.
I made my first maternity dress from something near that color. I called it manure green.
