there are at least two broadly different palettes where most preferences fall into. for instance, how would you describe the color orange? is it fun, joyful, or vibrant? or does orange come across as sappy, sickening, or pedestrian? consider a darker color, like purple. is it regal, mysterious, cool? or is purple better described as moody, melancholic, or pretentious? there is no right or wrong answer here, since these are matters of taste and open to interpretation. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to explain why, but really, not much beyond that. it's pointless to argue one color is inherently better than another because color variations are so subjective.
feeling ill at the sight of orange isn't evidence the color orange itself is sick, nor evidence that anyone who likes orange is sick (or gay). it likely means you just have a darker and grittier palette. some may think orange is fun, while purple seems mysterious and creepy. others think orange is cheesy, while purple is more richly sophisticated. in any case. for those with a lighter palette and baffled at the intense hostility warm colors can evoke, it's important to keep in mind some people _enjoy_ negativity. an easy point to overlook since most try to avoid it, but there are those who like negativity for its own sake.
when trying to determine a light or dark preference, what people state in public is too often irrelevant. for example, ask people what their fave movie or song is and you'll get one answer. then ask which title or track they've seen or heard most often and if they're candid, you'll likely get a different answer (aka guilty pleasures). in this situation, follow what people do and not what they say.
however, what they say isn't totally meaningless -- far from it. to give another hypothetical, person A claims not to hate feel-good entertainment or do-gooders, but then proceeds to explain at length why everyone should hate feel-good do-gooders. conclusion? person A hates feel-good do-gooders, and what is claimed or not is virtually meaningless. preponderance is a key factor to look for and brings us to the next question: what is wrong with feeling good or doing good? if nothing, then should it matter to you what people who hate feel-good do-gooders thinks is cheesy or sickening?
photo 53_10 was taken near 7th pond and shot in color but is presented here desaturated, and with a couple of filters added. for all its appeal -- and i do like it -- black & white isn't my perferred format. too bleak. your mileage may vary.
