Hate to be that guy but…
Nah, hate it as furniture
Duh, love it as paint color in the guest bathroom. Like the contrast with the bathtub and toilet.

Very 1960s. Teal used to be the name of the national airline in NZ. I don’t enjoy the colour myself, rather blah

I don’t like Teal. It really doesn’t look good on anyone.

(I’m not sure what you mean by “Duh” here; it’s usually used to mean you think someone is stupid for not seeing the obvious.)

I think teal is ok in home decor depending on what you do with it. As an accent with sand and cream, it could be quite lovely. Bu it does often look 60sish.

So I’m willing to judge it on a case by case basis.

I think teal furniture is really pretty, so long as you don’t overdo it.

I love teal. I think it’s lovely as a furniture color and I love it on clothing. It’s very pretty. In also like it as a wall color.

Teal neckties were the hip yuppie alternative in the late eighties. Thais about where it should be left.

Horrible.
Conflicts with everything else in the room, while simultaneously being bland as a mcdonalds burger.

Depends on the color’s usage. I love that color on a redheaded girl. And I love my redheads!

For furniture, or other things, again, if it’s tastefully employed.

Light teal looks as if it can’t decide whether it is blue or green. Dark teal is not too bad.

I can’t think of any color that I hate or strongly dislike or even mildly disfavor much on its own. Is this question supposed to be metaphorical, perhaps? I enjoy the entire visible spectrum, even if some colors at some times and in some applications are more pleasing to me than others – or other applications.

“Modern furniture”, on the other hand, should always be looked at askance and buried if it can’t be just plain burned.

I’ll go with “Nah.”

Teal was a very trendy color in the 1980s, especially when paired with pink. Here’s a great example, a Paul Simon record album cover from 1986 https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAUL-SIMON-YOU-CAN-CALL-ME-AL-Rare-1986-Australian-W-B-7/132279237363?hash=item1ecc74faf3:g:-VUAAOSw8FtZfp~G That motif is also common in shopping malls and office buildings constructed during the 80s; you can find lots of teal-and-pink tilework.

The look quickly became dated, and I think it didn’t age well at all.

I actually like the color very much, but there is something deeply rooted in my memory that causes me to feel sick to my stomach when I see it. When I was a preschooler, in Seattle, we had an odd little bathroom in the basement and it was painted that color. That bathroom has something to do with my memory, but I have no idea what my memory is.
