My taste (I use the term loosely) is for things I don't see often.
Around here, I seldom see pure white standards unless the entire bloom is white. Darker falls seem to usually have some beige, yellow or blue undertones in the white. And I like a contrasting beard. So I like it; it's different to me. The orange one with the neon "arnge" beard is my kind of color combo. Now if you can put the orange standards on the purple falls and name it Clemson _____. You'll sell them all day long down here....go tigers!
