| When we looked at Tufts, I thought the baby blue and brown combination was awful but that combination has actually been in style for the last year or so... My daughter thought it was cute.
She finally decided on U Texas Austin. Thank heavens she doesn't mind burnt orange because I'll tell you, the school color is EVERYWHERE on that campus. If you find burnt orange unbearable, you really shouldn't apply there.

| Sorry Midwest Mom - I got on this thread planning to pan Tufts and UT-Austin for the two worst color schemes in the country, only to find that I'm panning your daughter's tastes! As long as she's not majoring in interior design, I guess it's OK. But baby blue and brown are just hard to take together. There are several brown schools, and none are very palatable - especially the brown and yellow of Wyoming. The best brown school is the brown, crimson and cream of . . . Brown. | |

| The black and white of Bowdoin. It's not awful, just bland. | |

| ilovebagels is right. Princeton's orange and black. D is going but it was hard buying some of the stuff. The black with orange trim is not bad, but the reverse will hurt your eyes. She bought some mugs for people (orange) they can hurt your eyes. However, I am sure she will learn to love them. | |

| I think Cornell has only one color, red. Right?
What's wrong, they couldn't afford a second color? | |

| D said she would not apply to any college that had her HS colors. She joked, of course. | |

| I was thinking that would be a good way save money. We have so many schoolcolor and white hoodies, jackets, and T's. Now we need to buy burnt orange stuff, preferably emblazoned with a football. | |

| Blue and gold? That's not Michigan's colors kiddo! You are thinking of Maize and Blue. And what do you get when you mix those two awesome colors? That's right, a pukish green color! hehe! | |

| Clemson's orange and purple. Fine separately, combined with white. But from time to time, the football team wears orange pants with purple jerseys. That alone should be a 15-yard penalty.
Here in Georgia, most of the soil is solid clay and when kids play outside and slide in the dirt, the clay stain doesn't come out of their clothes. I was looking at a permanent clay stain last night and realized that that's why I don't like UT-Austin's color. | |
