Sunburst and Tortoise ....
And Sunburst, eurk! can't stand that color.
Personal taste of course.

I'd never come across Sahara Taupe before, so I googled it, I didn't think there were many colours I disliked, but that's gone right on the list!

The "Wine Red" finish that Yamaha keep using on their BB basses. I love Yamaha basses, I have a few and am searching for a BB3000, but I can't bring myself to own one in the wine red finish. It's usually such an oddly done burst that doesn't seem to fade in properly. Makes me sad.
Count me in for the “I hate sunburst” club. I’ve immediately passed on otherwise cool instruments simply because of that finish. I would rather not play bass than play a sunburst bass.
See? Tort can fix nearly anything!!!
I hate Antigua but that suddenly looks GOOD to me!
NOW it's a party.
EDIT: I don't know why the quote and pic double-posted. I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.
My apologies. But hey, double tort pics so it's a win/win am I right?

Mate olive or army green, with no metalness at all like these ugly cars nowadays
Antigua is the color of what might exit your nose on a cold February morning. I am also generally not a fan yellow, orange, red or sunburst. For me it’s white, black, any of the greens and blues and shell pink. Keep tort guards and give me pearloid or white ones.

Do you have a color or finish that you just don't like, no matter how hard you try?[/QUOTE]
Those neon green, violet etc.. Colored wax, oil on body

Not a fan of black basses myself but this one looks awesome !
I guess it sounds amazing thanks to its design so I wouldn’t care about the color and play the hell out of it !
I must admit the sand blast Fender basses looked like a piece of garbage but the sand blast p bass I tried once sounded truly amazing. I didn’t buy it because of the look but I still dream about its sound…………
I like tort on certain finishes too, but I’m in agreement with you regarding that tort on blue……
For me it's a specific combination. On Fender style instruments (and that extends to the guitars) I don't like gloss black with a white pickguard. It just looks cheap to me. You can tweak it even slightly and I'll be fine with it, like a white pearloid pickguard on gloss black looks fine. Heck, something as subtle as a parchment or mint pickguard would make a difference. But that just bright white on black screams beginner starter pack.
I used to dislike gold hardware across the board too, but I kept seeing examples I didn't hate, so I guess I'm just iffy on that one now.
