JUSTICE FOR UGLY COLORS

-savannah fries

When I was a dutiful personal seller for clothes, my personal buyers never scolded me for selling them ugly colors. Perhaps I was lucky to have kind personal buyers, or I just simply know how to buy the right colors. However, when I became a trusted seller, I realized that “ugly colors” are not ugly at all. Rather, they are colors that do not sell easily compared to the usual ones like black, red, and white.

The “ugly colors” or colors that usually don’t sell are:

Green and other pastel colors associated with it

Blue (with a few exception of the default jackets, jeans, shorts and tops) and other pastel colors associated with it

Yellow

Orange

Brown, whether light, dark or tanned.
