Seven days, seven colors. Now for... ugh... Yellow. I dislike yellow with a fervor.
I understand what it means. It can be a happy, warm color. I loved the King in Yellow as a staple of weird horror, and almost drew that. But yellow, I never liked. There are a lot of cases where orange or white or green can do it's job in a piece. But despite my own tastes, it can work in pieces. Still...
Key to why I despise yellow is that it's the color of exclusion. A medieval, western practice: heretics were forced to wear yellow to show who they were. It was associated with Judas Iscariot. Nazis used it for Jews in concentration camps. Yellow. There is a part of my brain that remembers that association when I use yellow. It carries the capacity for a very dark connotation.
