I redesigned my whole color palette because one client said it looked like a 90s ketchup bottle

Some guy selling handmade soaps told me my greens and reds reminded him of a bottle of Heinz, and now I always check my hues against grocery store logos before sending anything to a client. Has anyone else gotten a weird color comparison that actually made you rethink your choices?

Why let one grocery store critique dictate your whole design philosophy?

Man, that's hilarious and honestly kinda genius. Now I'm picturing a whole soap collection that looks like condiment packets and I can't unsee it. My own moment was when someone told me my muted blues looked like expired gatorade and I switched up my whole watercolor palette that week.
