Why do people dislike yellow flowers in their gardens?

Is there a group of people who dislike, say red flowers, or is it an eye sight thing such as colour blindness or maybe I'm colour blind in some way.
Do different people see colours in different ways.

 

I think some people find yellow flowers too bright and tricky to fit in with other things.
Personally I like all colours, although less fond of green flowers and the brighter, stronger the colour the better.
Currently I have lesser celandine, dandelions and daffodils in flower, later Dicentra scandens, rudbeckia.

 

@NigelJ ,I was going to say that the only flower colour I'm not keen on is green.
Just don't see the point and to me the more the flower colour jumps out at you the more I like it.
But the colour must be natural, can't stand flowers that have been dyed.

 

Other than colour blindness, I think people have different preferences.
I'm not colour blind but I just don't like yellow or red and never buy anything in those colours. I find them harsh on the eyes.
Although a little splash of yellow in a corner of the garden is all right.

I never buy yellow or red clothes, things for the house, if I changed the car ... in fact last time I changed it I asked the chap in the garage to look out for an Ignis for me and he found a red one. I didn't buy it.

It's the same with what food you like, what music you enjoy etc - I believe it's mainly down to personal preferences.

 

Love yellow among the other colours. Cowslips, daffodils, forsytsia, primulas, all of them make spring garden to look cheerful. Tomato flowers are beautiful yellow.
Enjoying yellow daffs on council flowerbeds. Wild fields of flowering dandelions are stunning.

 

The preponderance of Oilseed rape probably has a lot to do with it.

 

Ah well yellow and red are all right if they're pale, like primroses, and I enjoy pink flowers, which is really pale red. Pale yellow and red are not as garish as the 'full' colours, so they're all right with me.

 

On the point about colour blindness, I once learned that in our eyes we have multiple types of colour receptors. It's a specific number of types but I can't remember the number, but some studies suggest that males often have one less than females.

Some scientists think it's an evolutionary thing, from our hunter gatherer times, before gender equality was ever a concept, where the men had to be good at spotting things moving and the women had to be good at spotting ripe fruit. Not my words before anyone has a go

I'm not sure I believe that. If we look at the animal kingdom as a whole, the girls do as much hunting as the boys.

As a related aside, when I was younger I used to play a lot of pool. Older sets had the spots and stripes, but newer sets had red and yellow balls. If I was playing on a table with the red and yellow balls, I would always try to wangle it that I was on yellow, because this increased my chance of winning. Why? I can see the red balls perfectly enough, but I find it hard to gauge the contours necessary to get the exact angle and spin I wanted, whereas I could much more clearly see such angles for the yellows.

 

Yellow is my favourite colour. Here in the Highlands the light is different to most of Britain. Any flowers that are pale coloured, or blue or pink don't stand out although white does, so vibrant colours are the way to go. I'm currently developing a bed using red, orange and yellow.

Living rurally I'm surrounded by wild broom (Cytisus) and some gorse (Ulex) which is a riot of colour in Spring and smells wonderful.

 

Interesting thread
I love yellow flowers, including yellow roses.
My garden at the moment is full of daffodils and they make me so happy! It's poured with rain all day, and the daffodils are just a bit of sunshine on the dreariest days.
Saying that, I love pretty much all colours. I'm not a massive fan of red flowers but I know my husband likes things like crocosmia, and I'd never ban a certain colour/plant from the garden. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
