To be honest, neon colors aren’t really my thing. I do love bright colors, but these are too garish for my taste.

I really don't want to catch eye cancer, and that could happen when I see these neon colors ;-)

Yuck... I really don't like that for knitwear at all... and otherwise, I wouldn't wear it either.

I do like bold colors—but neon isn’t one of them.

Yeah, who actually likes that? Young girls, maybe? It’s definitely too garish for me. Maybe if it’s paired with a more subdued color, but even then… I can most easily picture it on kids’ clothes: hats, for example, so you’re easy to spot in the winter.

I actually really like it, but I just can’t wear it. It makes my face look such an unappetizing shade of green.

I’ll admit it—I just love neon green as an eye-catcher. Recently at the Winter Olympics, many athletes were wearing neon green outfits; they really stood out against the white snow. And kids love bright colors, too. That’s why I like to use them for my doll items. To me, they represent a zest for life, cheerfulness, and that “look at me” vibe. Maybe it’s just us adults who’ve lost our love for bright colors?

I’ll gladly admit it too, Ina — that makes two of us. I simply love these neon colors, especially combined with black stripes. I also still have some of that fringe yarn in neon colors. But I use it as hair for my clown heads.
Neon colors also work really well for crocheted bags or crochet figures, like in Ina’s doll clothes.
A strong, bright splash of color like that is just wonderful. I love those rainbow colors too.

Personally, I wouldn’t wear it as clothing (neither would my 13-year-old daughter, by the way), but in general, I have nothing against neon colors.

When I first met my ex-husband, I knitted him a ski beanie and a matching scarf in neon yellow. I almost went blind while knitting—it was that bright. Since then, I’ve given up on neon colors. But for kids, as a fun, eye-catching look—why not? And as a highlight or eye-catcher, I don’t think a little neon piece is a bad idea—just not for myself.

It depends. More likely in winter, for example for a cowl. Not in summer.

Neon pink and yellow—yes; orange and green—no.
All those colors together—no, no, no.

It might look good on tanned outdoor types, but not so much on pale city folks. You really do look sickly in it...

Yeah, personally, neon colors are my favorite. Not everyone feels that way, though.
