The colour orange
I don't have a clue why this is, but to me the colour orange screams "cheap and skanky".

I've felt this way for many years, way before fake tans were in, so I don't believe that's the reason - possibly it's because of those luminous orange sale signs you sometimes see - but you also see luminous green ones too and I don't hate green, so possibly not. I have no idea.

Not often. However I do drink orange juice. It's just the colour I don't like, the taste of oranges is fine.

Not that either - London. I've detested the colour for as long as I can remember, certainly since I was very young (under 10)

You might be on to something there!

The 'cheap and skanky' thing probably comes from EasyJet and their heavy use of the colour as a brand ID.

Not unless they were around 40 or so years ago - thats about how long I can remember hating orange. Although yes, it does confirm my feelings about it.

My dining-room is orange.
It's ace. I'm soon to move house, and I'm planning to paint my new dining-room orange too.
