OK so there’s a great topic here showing off awesome colorways: > [@Yoyo Colorway Game Is Strong](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyo-colorway-game-is-strong/74078): > > Share yoyo company’s best efforts at colorways based on rarity, uniqueness and just how good it looks. I made this thread because yoyofactory just shared this: Too good, especially that black and rainbow fade thing. Those horizons are just too good lol Discuss/share your best pictures! But I was thinking… what about the _opposite?_ What are some colorways you’ve seen that were… uh… particularly … _not_ strong? > 📣 To be clear, most all yo-yo colorways are awesome these days! I want to keep this positive, and I realize a lot of this comes down to personal preference. It’s just for fun and all in good cheer! So I’m not saying unattractive per se, just… **these are the colorways that consistently sell out last, if you know what I mean?** The colorways you happen to see for resale more often.The … er… um… runts of the litter, if you will? :wink: For whatever reason, I’ve seen a ton of these “Cosmic Ray” G squareds for sale. G2 has such awesome colorways across the board but this one… I dunno. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/d/a/bdab245b2beb3ca9532dbe9c50696a3780da5aa9.jpeg) I also think the 7075 Skyvas were exceedingly meh, such that I would have maybe preferred a solid which I almost never do (not really a solids guy). I still own one though! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/c/d/5cd83b180db1a7d10a0f647996473067d59f111a.jpeg) ---

The 7075 Skyvas are the most incipid looking yoyos I’ve seen in a while. There are also a few overly standardised solid colours that I have seen around for a while. One of them is a dark blue that is on many yoyos that I really find drab. I also find gold really boring. I usally dislike silver or black splashed with a single colour. I think colourways have really improved of late. ---

I don’t know, those crazy splash MonkeyfingeR colors look pretty great spinning. Fun fact - The first “in motion” picture I took was of the Monkeyfinger Evil Yo because it looked so cool spinning. We started doing the motion pictures regularly after that. As far as recent colors I wasn’t a fan of… ![Hipster-Highlife-Foodie-1_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/9/a/d9ae4b037781b6308c50ccce07dab8676fd3a390.jpeg) Fun yo-yo and I love orange, but this one just missed the mark. 😕 ---

I agree that brown can be kinda uninspiring but I dunno, moon lord terrarian is pretty hype! Plus woodland squirrel for clyw, and although it’s not super my thing, the “camo” look can be nice sometimes. ---

I dunno if people agree with me on this one but I never really like the way purple + blue + red + silver turn out when spinning. They look nice when they’re not spinning, though. ![IMG_7430](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/f/d/5fda25519cc93f07e33f703bc23fd4141fb83e1a.jpeg) ![IMG_7431](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/3/a735e53b402e788b4eb3aaff7dec3ca5a4c30670.jpeg) It’s weird because though because I love purple + blue + pink.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure those colorways sell out quite fast though. I had a hard time getting the red/blue splash Edge 1.0 a while ago. ---

Yeah I guess they’re still pretty good but sometimes there’s too much silver and it dulls down the color. Some people probably like that though. ---
