There is a certain set of colour values somewhere in the visible spectrum that do not seem to have a category. These colours seem to go with nothing in your house, and do not seem to come from anything in nature.
The commonest of the ugly colours appear to be (by their RGB values — it seems to look different on different monitors):
| 149 255 183 industrial green | 180 233 255 industrial blue |
The colours of the “industrial” spectrum are most often found in factories and warehouses. The really good paint was probably left for head office. The colors also appear most often in low-rent housing and greasy-spoon restaurants.
| 226 255 187 puke green |
A colour favoured mostly by people suffering from red-green colour blindness. Often mistaken for “moss green”. Consists mostly of canary yellow with just enough green to make you think the canary was unlucky. Associated with festering sores and infectious disease.
| 255 205 245 hospital pink |
For similar reasons, industrial blue is also called “hospital blue”. Associated with strerility. People who decorate their homes in hospital pink or hospital blue favour what is called in interior design as the “anaesthetic aesthetic”. Enjoyed most often by people under anaesthesia.

I had been debating about putting up a Donate button, but to be honest, this blog is mostly a self-indulgent effort, which runs cheaply and thus I can finance the running of it from my day job. Glad you and other people are liking the site!
