Put some tan patches, light olive green swirls and gray streaks on it, sew it into a uniform, put it on one of our combat soldiers and you will get a really sexy vision to look at!

I am sitting out on my screen porch, having a cup of coffee and enjoying the view, and I notice that this color is the exact same color we painted our house!! Looks good to me!

The color is not that bad. You just have to chose colors that would work well with it.

Add a few spots of light brown, couple of streaks of dark green. Call it "camouflage", make it into a uniform, put it on a soldier and you get a very sexy looking guy!

Not ugly in my eyes.

Funny that I just painted the back of our shed in a very similar colour to this. The can was on sale at under half price because no one wanted it. The front and side which everyone sees from inside the garden is mostly bright yellow with stripes of lime green, shocking pink, pale blue and fluorescent orange. Yes I have my very own quilted shed. Looks like a beach hut.

There is no ugly color, just choices that could have been better when combining colors. Happen to have this color as one of the backgrounds in the quilt I am working on now. Love the combination with the oranges, yellows and purples, it's perfect!

I don't think it's ugly at all. It's a great background color.

Gee! And all this time--nearly ninety years, I had believed that the ugliest color was that which is best left behind!

I find this color a neutral. It isn't ugly with a good combination of colors to go with it. ;-)
