Gaudy is used to describe bright colours when you want to suggest that they have been chosen by sb lacking good taste (= the ability to choose things that are attractive and of good quality). Garish is used more to describe bright colours that are ugly. Loud mainly describes clothes with bright, ugly patterns and suggests less disapproval and more humour. Lurid is the most unpleasant of all, used especially to describe lighter colours that reflect light, such as yellow, orange, green and pink. * gaudy指艳丽而缺乏品味。garish更多指颜色鲜艳而难看。 loud主要指衣服图案花哨难看，不太含贬义，倒有些幽默意味。本组词中，lurid最令人不悦，尤用于描述反光的浅亮色，如黄色、橙色、绿色和粉红色。 |
