Colour combinations

Dried Lilies - acrylic Painting

Acrylic Painting, 'Bakerloo line' carpet swatch, Dried out flowers

So I've always liked the Bakerloo line colour combinations, and not thinking about it the colour combination of dried out lilies is very similar - purple with a warm sienna and then a green that depends on what state the leaves are in but anything from olive to a very verdant shade. Anyway I was intrigued by the hatred evoked by the colour combination in the painting... maybe the phthalo green was a bit too much, perhaps its an age thing and when this colour combination was en vogue it brings out associations? Anyway, sorry for those who don't like it.
