The ugliest color palette in history: CGA's "palette 1", with its lovely combination of black, white, magenta, and cyan (and the only palette where you could have BOTH black AND white).
Magenta and cyan are, IMHO, the two ugliest colors. Something about them just plain feels WRONG, like pressing two adjacent keys on a piano. It doesn't take much tweaking to make them tolerable... tone down the red a bit to get purple, dial down 90% of the green to get blue, and you have a decent combo to go with white and black. But full-bore cyan and magenta is HIDEOUS, especially when used next to each other.

While chartreuse is a great accent color for people who always wear black, it never stays on trend. Wham! sold kids on neon yellow and pink, but couldn't pull off chartreuse. Issey Miyake layered a see-thru chartreuse/bark shirt in the very early 2000s, but quickly abandoned it. I bought one, but seldom wore it (my body fat had to be under 10% to feel comfortable in it.

Feng Shui is about the energy flow in your home and how the human fits in.
“Don’t situate the bed directly under a window. The chi entering through the window will disrupt sleep.” – Feng Shui Bed Positioning. Sally Painter, Feng Shui Practitioner.
“At nighttime your body needs strong support, as well as protection, in order to do its best with the work of regenerating itself. This is the reason a good solid headboard is highly recommended in feng shui. In addition to a good headboard, you always want to have a solid wall behind your bed. When you sleep under the window, your personal energy tends to get weaker in time, as it has neither proper support, nor protection.” – Feng Shui Tips and Solutions for Bed Under Window.

R95 This palette adds a warm, ripe feeling to anything it's included in. It also works well communicating a sense of aristocratic decay about a space, high quality and natural materials aged. Chartreuse is the lighter end of a palette of burnt orange, cadmium red, umbers, mustard, clay and parchment whites, moss green, dark turquoise and blue-greens.

I know this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion - but I loathe purple. Any shade, from lilacs to royal purples. I don't know why.

I don't loathe purple, but I don't have any use for it. It can go well with chartreuse, however.

My current least-favorite color is faded black - as seen in your offices across the nation in the form of knitwear - it's not quite discolored, but it's on the cusp of grungy pilling shit rag and those wearing it should be ashamed and bullied.

Lilac is pretty in small doses. Especially with blue, like below.
I have a lilac slipcovered hassock that looks good. It's an unexpected color. I made it from a chenille bedspread that got wrecked.

I love purple, both for its own sake and because it's a good color for clothing. Almost everyone looks good in some shade of purple, I myself find that plums flatter my red hair and pasty skin.

Purple shades look especially good on people with brown hair.

Or the darker shades of brown skin, R183, or on blondes. Purple brings out the yellow or gold in your hair with contrast!
It's a very flattering color, as chartreuse is not. Hardly anyone looks good in yellow, and nobody looks good in yellow-greens.

For some reason, seafoam green always makes me feel slightly nauseated. I have a vague memory from my childhood of coloring with a seafoam crayon and being sick. I guess I subconsciously associate this color with feeling ill.

When my parents married in 1950, chartreuse must have been hugely popular. My mother used it as an accent color, along with lipstick red in her very Asian deep jade living room.
It’s best used as an accent color. Looks great with black and crimson. And yes, purple and lilac.
The chartreuse I remember was the color of the chair, not the lime or neon versions.

Chartreuse is often found in Japanese cloisonne enamelware. It adds the right pop of brightness in a palette that's usually warm and deep (mustard, rust, browns and tans, deep turquoise, black). I particularly like it in Kintsugi pottery (broken pottery mended with gold) because of the electric contrast between the warm gold and the bright, neutral-temperature chartreuse.
