Battleship gray. I just can't do bland.
florescent pink or green is the worst color imaginable
I can't think of any color that would drive me crazy in only a week although a deep blood red might have some negative impact.
I don't much care for wallpaper featuring woodland animals in weskits and bowlers either. But that's just me.
Anything mauve or floral would make me rip out my eyes and put them in backwards just so I couldn't see it anymore.
Oh, and anything with big roosters on it.
The wallpaper behind the wallpaper behind the wallpaper in the kitchen of our apartment was right out of the late 60s/70s. It had huge bell peppers of various colors intermixed with some vine-y design. Hideous!
... rip out my eyes and put them in backwards...
I suppose that would work so long as the inside of your head isn't filled with mauve roosters.
Oooooh, bell peppers....
My mother had this absolutely HIDEOUS wall paper in 70's-era "earth" tones...puke green, orange, bark yellow and brown. Scary part? She actually PICKED IT OUT.
I have since then questioned my mother's taste.
Well yeah, that WOULD be a bad thing, Bill. And now of course every time I close my eyes today I will see mauve roosters. :-)
My room as a kid had shiny silver cross hatches over shiny lime green. When my parents decided it had to go, they replaced it with wallpaper covered in Ziggy cartoons. It was kinda cool, for about 30 minutes as I went around trying to find all the cartoons. Then it just became insanely depressing.
Anything that was created in a Soviet era wallpaper factory immediately deserves burning. I would definitely go mad if I had nothing else to stare at for a week.
pwngal - did your Mom have the avocado/gold/burnt orange appliances to match?! Mine did...
Fluorescent anything would make me want to gouge out my eyes for sure.
