For me it's orange and bright blue together. I work at a school where the colors are blue and orange. I just can't make myself put those two together to make a quilt. Friends have asked me to make one. I try, but I just can't do it! LOL!!!

I'm not crazy about orange either. Though I am intrigued when it's combined with white and lavender and pink. Probably because it reminds me of sherbet and food is always good :)
But I think I really hate the chartreusy-goldy-olive color especially paired with fuchsia.

I have to say orange is a great contrast complimentary color. It looks beautiful with blues. But you have to like that look which to me is visually stimulating when I see contrast complimentary colors together they pop.

Just thought of another one. I never thought I'd make a purple quilt. I like the color and have used it combined with other colors but never figured on doing a whole quilt in purple. Then I ended up with a bunch of charms that included lots of purple, lavendar, violet. I had a lightbulb moment and decided to put them together with white muslin. Now I'm anxious to get to this quilt on my To Do list. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm thinking in terms of what little girls might like since my granddaughter was born. ;)

Except for one*, I've never met a color I didn't like, however, mustard yellow and bright orange are pretty low on the list. They do occasionally have their "aha!" moments, though. I particularly love working with black. It really makes other colors POP! I love pink, too (might be because it's my favorite color). :mrgreen:
*The one color I don't like is solid white. I guess it's because white can be persnickety about showing the seam allowances underneath it if you happen to get them ironed the wrong way ... and also because it seems to get dirty so easily.
