Pantone 448 C aka "World's Ugliest Color"
Many countries use it for generic tobacco packaging because research showed most people consider it to be the ugliest color in the world (and will therefore make them want to smoke less). Supposedly it reminds people of death.
I honestly don't think it's that ugly. It reminds me of forest.

Reminds me of one of the camouflage colors.

It looks like mold. People may have a primal response to a color that in nature would signal decay.

Reminds me of the color of my poop after eating Kaboom cereal.

Reminds me of when I was a manny in Santa Barbara. We had 3 avocado trees in the yard, and the little ones could not get enough. This looks exactly like what I would find in their diapers.
Not good times. Not at all.
Thank god for hoses.

it looks like a soft brown. I always thought the ugliest color was olive green

Idk if I'm colorblind or something, but it just looks like an off-black to me.

Doubtful that any cigarette packaging anywhere is being produced using actual Pantone inks. More likely the Pantone color is being converted to a cheaper CMYK process.

This is a much worse color.

There are lots of worse colors, IMO.

Wouldn't exactly paint my walls in that.

I don't hate it. It just seems neutral.
This kind of color is worse to me:
