    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!

    Looks like plain ole brown to me....maybe smokers voted it the ugliest because it reminds them of the color of smoke stain.......

    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.
