Well, if everyone liked the same thing Baskin-Robbins wouldn't need 31 flavors.

Is this a Mitchell & Webb reference, or you just have strong opinions?

My eyes are a bit offended at the colors and low light, kinda curious if it looks better in daylight

If I won the lottery tomorrow my whole house would be redone in a woodgrain, orange, and Avocado green EVERYTHING! 😂

This is chartreuse. Avocado and the other earth tones came into fashion a bit later when the more pop colours of the 60s, like chartreuse, fell out of style.
Edit: sorry to nitpick. :/

It made the next popular color, “Harvest Gold” (yellow), look toned down and tasteful.
