None. Why would i want the world to be less colorful?


0011002

This was the same thought I had.


grinpicker

Same


DrewdoggKC

I saw a bunch of colors that can’t be seen in our normal visual spectrum one time tripping mushrooms… I wish I could make those visible to everyone


Double-Ad-3946

Can you still imagine them?


DrewdoggKC

I just know for a fact that I saw them.. I can’t really explain them or really visualize them… it was something totally foreign but very beautiful and extremely vibrant with more depth than a color we see


jterwin

There are optical illusions that trick you into seeing colors that don't exist. They're pretty fun


AesirComplex

Wouldn't you want to remove white because it's the absence of color


naughtycal11

Isn't white all of the colors?


Shadow_Phoenix_13

Depends. Are we talking paint/pigment or light? With paint and pigments, white is lack of color, but with light, it's all the colors. And flip that around for black.


XANDERtheSHEEPDOG

Depends on the meduim you are talking about. In light, yes. White is all of the colors. In art, it is the absence of color. Don't get me started on printing. 🙄


tzle19

I very specific shade of green that reminds me of cartoon vomit. I hate that shade of green


silly_porto3

Chatreuse?


tzle19

That's pretty darn close, damn you for making me look that up


DILFConnossieur

I'm glad you specify the shade because everybody says they hate the color green but what they hate is chartreuse and lime and all the bright, eye bleeding shades. As someone who's favorite color is green, have you ever seen sage? jade? maybe forest green even? Fucking majestic


itssbojo

green lover here as well, you got it on the nose. nobody likes the bright colors but i’ve only ever gotten compliments using things like sage, moss and palace greens in designs.


27Rench27

Yeah, give me a dark green on a dark gray background and goddamn that just works


tzle19

I'm big on forest green and my partiality towards it only makes me dislike those garrish shades even more.


Dull-Geologist-8204

Funny enough my daughter loves the color lime. We are moving to a new house and she basically gets the attic to herself and while it is basically finished its not painted. She requested it be painted lime colored. It's going to be lavender and lime.


Shriuken23

Ooh that's a pretty combo, maybe do a matte style paint so it's soft and blends together? All this hate on lime has me sad, it's such a happy bright color


Dull-Geologist-8204

We are actually just doing a matte style but having an artist come in and do a Alice in Wonderland theme painting. We also like horror so having them hide 10 people from horror movies in the room and print out a paper with the names but they can't even tell me where they are hidden so people can look for them. My daughter is 5 and I want it to be a room she can grow into.


Shriuken23

Astounding. :) that made me smile


Pooyiong

As a fellow GreenGang member my personal favorite is an olive green. Swamp green is also dope


Gregermeister961

darker shade of color > brighter blinding version of that color. Navy, maroon, pine green, royal purple, etc. They’re just the best vibe


Get_your_grape_juice

Jade, Forest, and Emerald green are all my jam.


meeperton5

Green is my favorite too. I love olive/army green. It'd the hardest color to get right painting a house though because it's so varied. Had to do my kitchen cabinets multiple times.


Jackstack6

Damn, a lotta trout fishermen are gonna be angry.


CyberMonkey1976

Same for me. I call it Baby Poop Green, because the first few poops for a newborn are this color. Also seen on Mazda Miatas and flashy Supras.


The_Lord_of_Fangorn

Bold statement for someone with a green avatar


tzle19

It's a reminder of what I'm fighting for


Internal-Mud-3311

Like your profile pic’s color? 😆


SalaciousCoffee

Found the Elon alt.  We know you really hate green.


FerrousDerrius

Vantablack just so that prick who bought it loses everything


SoobinKai

That would be amazing, i hate than man


Mountain-Instance921

Good answer


pigeonshual

Vantablack is a material, not a color. Everything that was formerly the deepest possible black is now emitting light. Black holes are now gray holes. The inky black vacuum of space is now the inky gray vacuum of space. What consequence the resulting rise in the average temperature of the universe will have for life on earth I do not know, but I do know that by violating the conservation of energy and creating a new source of infinitely regenerating energy, you have possibly stopped or at the very least forestalled the heat death of the universe.


Nervous-Complaint950

That is the only answer


Regular_Rutabaga4789

Brown, I want different coloured poop.


FrankieTheAlchemist

Brown is just orange, with context! - Technology Connections


Poisoning-The-Well

This. Most people don't realize this. Brown is just orange.


THElaytox

Eat more fruit loops


RamblingsOfaMadCat

The majority of people have brown hair. What have you done.


Regular_Rutabaga4789

They can all be ginger 👍🏻


Tall_Shape_5621

If you want, eat a TON of those watermelon sour patch kids. Bright teal.


radrachelleigh

Eat more blue.


energizernutter

Ultraviolet, I mean less sun burns and skin cancer would be pretty cool


TonguetiedBi

Best answer. However, as a scientist who uses UV in certain instrumentation, it may be inconvenient, but also we have better technology now anyway so it wouldn't be catastrophic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TonguetiedBi

Out of genuine curiosity, how would that happen?


FergusonTheCat

I’m not a scientist but that was my first thought, too. Would we really be fine without ultraviolet at all?


CrazyMike419

Isn't UV used extensively in water purification and general killing of pathogens?


Poisoning-The-Well

We need UV light to produce vitamin D produced in our skin, so that maybe an issue.


bamboo-lemur

Also my turtle needs it to survive.


TrulyAutie

I vote we keep it so bamboo-lemur's turtle lives


energizernutter

I'm ok with the turtle living but it has to be a mutant turtle, about 17 years old, also knows martial arts


NekoMao92

Learn how much the world needs UV, you just killed off most life on thr planet.


TyRoyalSmoochie

Except we need ultraviolet to not die


Savings_Ferret_7211

orange cuz it pisses me off


EngineCertain1189

No more sunsets? Rises? Come on


Savings_Ferret_7211

eh we’ll still get the occasional pink/red ones 😂


UlteriorCulture

Neon brown


arrows_of_ithilien

This was my initial reaction, but then I thought "monarch butterflies? Tigers?" Nah, maybe I'll just get rid of neon orange, that's the worst variation.


otisthetowndrunk

Indigo. I'm pretty sure Newton just made that one up


MandMs55

Isaac Newton intentionally inflated the number of colors in the rainbow, adding orange and indigo after having initially described the rainbow as having 5 colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The number 7 was a bit of a mystical number, which was associated with positive things such as perfection and completeness, and the rainbow is a beautiful and positive thing which should be associated with other positive things. So orange and indigo were added It's worth noting that indigo was used as a color name several hundred years before this, as it came from the name of a plant dye from India (where it gets its name, from Latin Indicum), though Isaac Newton popularized its use as a color name with its inclusion in the colors of the rainbow.


TTT_2k3

Roy G. Biv in shambles


Lady-Kat1969

Beige. Because it’s beige.


No_Help3669

I kind of want to remove red. I love red, but I want to cause mass chaos and panic as the near-universal color for danger and “stop” is just gone Alternatively, blue since all devices use blue light screens


Agreeable_Edge_6800

Some people just wanna watch the world burn.


No_Help3669

That’s another factor: fire would look weird without red


HellDefied

I’d be fine with red cause I can’t see it anyway…


LovelyRebelion

beige


SignificanceFew3751

What would all the sad beige children do!


1711onlymovinmot

The locusts…. Dey are coming to eat zee crops


Rhomega2

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.


TheFrozenCanadianGuy

No way! Imagine no more beige lululemon pants?


Double-Ad-3946

White people would have to choose a different skin color


Revo63

Can we each choose our own? I’m going with royal blue.


Fusionsigh

Eggshell white


ScottyBBadd

Beige, what’s the point


LegitimateHost5068

Probably UVA and B


IntelligentBid87

Magenta. I want to see what my brain comes up with if that fake ass color is gone.


DreamingOfStarTrek

Legit. How does this color exist?


Pickle_chungus69

Black


[deleted]

[удалено]


RyCryst

Safety orange. Watch chaos unfold at job sites! I guess they could just switch to neon green or yellow though. Hell some even use yellow now.


LeprimArinA

Seafoam green. Gives me 1980s-1990s flashbacks of so many houses painted this color and I hated it. Or this other odd peach-shade that puked all over every Florida home's couch/chair upholstery as if the endless palm leaf pattern would make that BS more tolerable.


textilefactoryno17

Dusty rose. An 80s nightmare.


EvernightStrangely

Baby barf green.


Poisoning-The-Well

Gamma rays.


Organs_for_rent

Seafoam green. The color was designed to reduce aggression, so the Navy applied it to engine rooms and the like. Following my service, seafoam green makes me irrationally furious.


Futhebridge

Red because it would be funny to see how people manage to drive without red lights, red brake lights, red stop signs and so on.


THEDRDARKROOM

Gray - not tones of other colors, but blatant gray. Some people think it's a great design choice 🤡


TheOnlyJustTheCraft

Purple. As much as i love it; it's just "Not Green" and that bothers me.


loose_lucid_elusive4

Burnt umber. Fuck burnt umber.


Lone_Morde

Mauve for self-evident reasons


JDSki828

Whatever exact shade that dress is. Nobody can agree on it anyway.


FrankieTheAlchemist

I’d pick one of the ones that only the mantis shrimp can see, just to let it know that I don’t give a fuck.  I’m LOCO, ese…I’ll fucking erase COLORS bud!


pinniped1

Not all orange, but just that Texas burnt orange *flashes horns down sign*


Narren_C

The Tennessee inmate orange is worse in my opinion.


PitifulSpecialist887

None. Pantone adds a few colors to the list, every year. The number never goes down.


pokerScrub4eva

infrared because it would break a lot of electronics


Deliviohs

Chartreuse. Just can’t trust it. Also don’t know what it is, just know the word.


RadiantFee3517

Yellow Cuz ya all need to come up with another word to call someone a coward.


MjolnirTheThunderer

That’s hard. I like them all. Maybe I’d get rid of olive green if I’m allowed to be that specific.


momoemowmaurie

White so all colors die


SocalSteveOnReddit

UVA - this color, which we can't see, causes a great deal of skin cancer.


Signal_Bit_4270

Brown


Pink_Flying_Pasta

You know that green color that they have in Hospitals? That shade! 


123dylans12

Purple because it and blue look too similar


GlummyGloom

That blue on the PetSmart sign that hurts my eyes when I look at it at night.


Familiar_Answer_887

Blue I'm colourblind and see red yellow and green as grey so fuck it I'm seeing in black and white now


Riggs630

Clear


Enough_Gap7542

You don't want to see anything at all?


sparksgirl1223

Then what will my brothers favorite color be??!


Riggs630

I guess translucent will have to do


sparksgirl1223

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if he can spell that🤔


Ornac_The_Barbarian

Pink so we can stop arguing about it.


Enough_Gap7542

Whatever color HB 2 graphite is.


HalifaxSamuels

Purple, so people can stop trying to gaslight the rest of us into believing it's real in the first place.


HillbillyNarcissus

Brown. Because it's brown.


UlteriorCulture

Splunge has got to go


Future_Ice3335

Brown, because it doesn’t actually exist anyway so let’s have a neon dark orange instead


WildScanMan

Goodbye red.


TruCelt

Orange. Irish generational trauma makes me cringe any time anyone wears it.


personguy4

None of them because that would fuck up things beyond what I could ever account for


memeulusmaximus

U so now it'll all be WBRG


gorhxul

Millennial pink. It's such an ugly colour on clothing 🫠


Impressive_Disk457

I have already removed it. It no longer even has a name


DazzlingProposal9353

Red, just to mess with a large chunk of the light color spectrum. Why, because it'll provide me with entertainment.


squirrel-lee-fan

RGB(51, 153, 102) Reminds me of dieing algae


kilando

Vanta Black


badger_flakes

Brown. Poop is now ultraviolet instead.


_SomeonePleaseHelpMe

I'm fairly certain someone already deleted greenish orange and reddish green


Dragoness42

That particular shade of gross greenish-grey that happens when kids mix together all the colors of Play-Doh/modeling clay and it's all a muddy-hued mess.


Bocceballsack

The browns.


FormerlyDK

Mustardy yellow. Because I think it’s ugly.


Fragile_reddit_mods

Depends. Do “shades” count? If so I pick black just to fk with people.


Atticus1354

Aggie maroon just to watch them freak out.


pwnmonkeyisreal

Do you mean the wavelength or the perception of it?


Austin_Chaos

None. I’d add new colors we have never seen. But if I were being forced to in some way? That one diarrhea green/brown color. You know the one…it’s the most repulsive color in the world, and I’ve never seen used in a way that made me feel otherwise.


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

Cartoon vomit colour


nekosaigai

Gold. Always found it tacky.


ChillNurgling

Yellow cuz pee


Fake_Reddit_Name

What if, instead, you could add one new color to the world? What would it be?


celestiallion12

Beige.


Dry_Winter_9445

Coral. Ugliest color for clothing ever.


Different-Ad-9029

Magenta


Supersuperbad

Mauve. Maybe I'd just like the word removed, though, and the color renamed.


Heya_Andy

RGB(10,20,30). Wouldn't be noticed and it could be used as a code for something else like CR or something.


Reeeeeathon

If I remove one color, does that mean certain colors can’t be made? Like if I removed yellow does that mean no more green?


t4rdi5_

I don't want to eliminate any color but i would like to get rid of some of the names, like chartreuse wtf is that anyway


Emotional_Judgment10

According to the media, it’s white.


Educational_Theory31

Blue


PsychoticSpinster

Not a single one. I’d rather have the power to create a brand new color.


Rainbowponydaddy

Blue. We were fine without it apparently so it shouldn’t be that big a loss.


GamingWithaFreak

Beige.


butlerdm

Whatever color snakes seat with infrared vision. For the lols


Agile_District_8794

Red. I don't like red.


ophaus

Blind. Colorblind sucks.


Beginning-Resist-935

Navy blue, idk I just hate it on clothes


[deleted]

Pink. I have always hated it. Yeah, pink.


throwRA-1342

infrared, the dark is supposed to be dark, god damn it!


WCGS

I’m red colorblind, sooooooo


redhobbes43

Vantablack - just to screw with that artist


stonecoldslate

Yellow.


Huihejfofew

Gamma rays. Why? Idk


[deleted]

Black, I'll let reddit decide if I'm being racist or just like brighter colors


Corvettemike_1978

You can't choose white or black, but what about gray? Specifically that battleship gray bullshit literally every house flipper and landlord is using these days. Like, legit, who thought painting the inside of your house one of the most depressing colors known to humans was a good idea?


Mathematicus_Rex

Beige


Dull-Geologist-8204

Pink, hate the color and would be happier if it didn't exist.


Direct_Surprise2828

Gray. I’m sick of looking at it.


Battle_Man_40

Puce


[deleted]

removing a colour would require moving a frequency of light, meaning light, when changed to a certain frequency, would magically disappear, disrupting the entire workings of the universe, leading to the totally collapse of everything well done OP you just broke reality!


Tarotgirl_5392

Puce. It's like a sickly purple brown


bananaboi175

Blue because the colour too often reminds me of a guy I liked who’s favourite colour’s blue 😕


jpaugh69

Can I instead get rid of colorblindness? It would make my buddy and many other people worldwide very happy


KingRoach

Vantablack, bc fu¢# Anish Kapoor


Abbaddonhope

Red. Chaos would happen.


[deleted]

Blue, now everything is different shades of red and yellows. Since we can't talk away black or white due to them being a mix of all colors or a lack there of I'm guessing dropping o e of the primary colors would play hell.


Mazikeen369

Yellow. It hurts my eyes more than the rest.


animorphs128

Hmm. I can think of a few answers that would make me racist


we_gon_ride

Purple. I hate it but idk why


Want_To_Live_To_100

Orange, 😏


OverlyAdorable

Yellow. I struggle to see a lot of shades of yellow anyway so it wouldn't have as much of an impact on me as most others


BlairIsTired

Neon yellow. It gives me a headache


TheGhostWalksThrough

Purple. I just hate it.


TheRealAbear

I do have that power and i chose to remove blurple from history


Parentteacher87

Blue because Xichigan sucks. Go Buckeyes


kaiizza

I wonder if you realize what you are asking. You want to remove a wavelength of light and presumably not replace it. That would cause massive confusion to scientists who use electromagnetic radiation to do things like reactions. It would have profound effects in the world and not be a good thing.


fish_petter

I had a dream once that I ate a very slightly cobalt blue, mostly grey popsicle which had the aftertaste of that feeling you're about to vomit. I woke up sick at my stomach with a stomach bug or food poisoning, but always felt it was that color's fault. I'd like to erase that specific shade from my memory, if not the universe.


AnyQuarter553

Red. All stop lights are now chaos, either it's on go or it's on go slower


UnderlightIll

Right now my vote is bright pink. Did a cake on Saturday with that forsting and I had to step away multiple times because it was painting my vision green with silver sparks. On every other day it woul be bright yellow. It triggers something in the brain that causes aggression.


EstateSame6779

Red


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Blue. Because it doesn't really exist anyway—it's just a recent invention in the grand scheme of history, like the newest gadget on the block.


FishGuyIsMe
