If you had to ban a colour, if you HAD TO, which one would you choose?
Everything of that colour will be illegal, and immediately disappear from nature. You need to be able to name the colour.
Your validity as an assertive leader - you are, of course, a magical king here - will be assessed on the boldness of your actions. You can choose a very specific shade of Misty Taupe if you wish, but your people will consider you weak and you risk a violent coup without strong leadership in these uncertain times.

"Grey
Agreed. Especially in interior design
My whole house is grey! 
Brown!
Whoever hates grey probably prefers painted magnolia! "
Grey... Brown... OK guys... so now all the SOIL disappears.
You are also dead.
Everyone else is also still dead. |

I would ban "a whispering remembrance of elderflower white" and all those other shite paint names.
If it's white, call it white. If it's blue call it blue!
I think the world would cope. M |

Yes, cornflour dove whatnot probably won't cause many problems, but is it good enough to stop your head ending up on a spike? |

It's a bit like restaurant menus. Roast turkey becomes succulent roasted Suffolk turkey. It is still turkey  |

"Yellow. Unnecessarily bright 
Seriously? You want to destroy the sun?!
Or is the sun justifiably not yellow? It just looks yellow from a distance I guess, does that make a difference?"
Just the colour would disappear though, not the actual effects of the Sun that keep th solar system going. If getting rid of the yellow does destroy the Earth, well then that's just a bonus  |

everything that is that colour disappears in the most physical, literal sense possible. |

"Think I can live without beige in my life 
Biscuits are beige!
Nope ! Golden"
Some photography website I just found says that Andrex puppies are beige, and worthy winners of their "beige" photo contest.

Sand is also agreed to be beige there... Sand is pretty chuffing useful, right? |

Ahhh, I'd still go for yellow because I don't think that's the colour of the Sun, I think that's just colour our eyes see  |

Ultimately colour doesn't actually exist at all, so kind of ruins the question if that's the route you take! |

Apologies, didn't mean to derail the thread, I just wanted to back up my point 
I guess I would go with purple then, can't think of anything important that's purple |

"I guess I would go with purple then, can't think of anything important that's purple "
Well I think this is *objectively* the right answer. Have a biscuit. The only important things that are purple, are ones that are deemed to be important... i.e., royals. What with the fact that Purple dies were always hard to make, as there's next to nothing naturally purple, so it was reversed for royalty. It's a big chunk of well known colour (and THE best colour) but still, it isn't important. |

According to the Kennel Club (who surely know better than a photography website?) Labrador colours are:
"The only correct colours are wholly black, yellow or liver/chocolate. Yellows range from light cream to red fox. Small white spot on chest and the rear of front pasterns permissible."
So not beige
As for sand, that's variable - I've seen sand that is white and sand that is almost orange and various other shades besides....so I'm sticking to beige as a colour that can be done without |

Many flowers are purple - they're important surely?
And would Prince have been Prince without purple? |

Many are, yes. especially in my garden, but most are not. |

I'm trying to imagine some sort of world wide system of perpetual waterers... That'd be quite an achievement! |

Since we are talking colours, do you know what the only colour is that doesn't have a frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum? In layman's terms, the only colour that isn't in a rainbow.
Incudentally, I'm not talking about black or white, which technically are shades and not colours. They are added to colours to darken or lighten them. |

"Might as well be cyan.
Every time I use my inkjet printer it never seems to ******* have any, so it wouldn’t be missed."
Not the worst suggestion! Wonder if there could be a black market industry in cyan... |
