I just got The Designer's Guide to Color Combinations from the Library and right in the beginning of the book as "Bonus Palette #1" is DEADLY COLOR. These are the most hideous colors and their names are no more attractive; Trauma Coral, Putre Taupe, Cadaver Yellow, and Viscera Cyan, to name a few. It says that Designer David Lincoln Brooks exhaustively studied pictures of accident scenes and cadavers. Further down, it goes on to describe in sickening detail where and how these colors are found. (I'm not going to repeat it here.)
You'll have to excuse me now, I'm feeling kind of ill.....
