I have a massive bone to pick with this particular colour

Now I don't know if this rant is fueled by the fact that I haven't slept properly in months, but I am still mad about it. This morning on the bus, I was idly viewing the various shops as I drove past. Although I have been making this exact same bus journey for four years, something caught my attention that doesn't usually.
There is a certain shop that uses one particular colour for its logo and all of its decor. I won't write the name here because I don't want this petty post to come up when the name is googled or anything. How considerate I am.
But ANYWAY their logo is done in the worst colour known to mankind. I promise you, this is the only colour I feel any kind of passion for, either positively or negatively. I hate it on a highly irrational level, and I can accept that.
I even used the colour finder on the Resene website to try and find a sample of said colour. This is getting out of hand. Whenever I realise I don't like something, I tend to find out as much as possible about it, until I feel satisfied that I don't like it for good reason or until I realise my life is a sad abyss. Whichever comes first.
UNSURPRISINGLY RESENE DOESN'T HAVE A COLOUR THAT MATCHES IT JUST RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S THE WORST FUCKING COLOUR EVER.
LOOK AT THAT FOUL STUPID LITTLE COLOUR
SITTING THERE ALL ARROGANT LIKE IT'S EQUAL TO THE OTHER COLOURS IN THE SPECTRUM.

Okay let me tell you my backstory for this colour. I was, about three months ago, gifted a piece of fake fur in this colour by my fabrics teacher. I was excited because I can't afford fake fur, and although I was skeptical about the colour, I was willing to make it work because it was free, you know how it is.
THis probably would have been okay if the piece was a bit bigger. It was too small to make a whole separate garment out of, meaning that I would have to combine it with another piece of fabric to actually make something.
NOTHING in my fabric collection matches this stupid colour to my satisfaction. NOTHING. I don't know WHY this has happened but it feels like a personal attack against me.
I WILL ACTUALLY GIVE YOU FIFTY CENTS IF YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING THAT MATCHES WITH THIS SHIT. I'M NOT READY TO GIVE UP ON THE FABRIC JUST YET.

DO NOT SUGGEST THAT BLACK AND WHITE SHIT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT.
This has never happened to me before and it's shaken me right to my core.
