color haters

I get people who sometimes are very explicit in their opinions of my use of color in my work.
Some even go so far as to be kind of insulting when I make something using fewer colors.
They feel the need to say how much better this is opposed to my usual work, etc, blah, blah.
I also see those who think color combos that I like are garish.
I makes me fearful...
does everyone hate my color usage?
I mean most people SAY they like my use of color...
but..
um..

I need to calm down.
I have been told by more than one curator that color is prefered.
Alot will not even consider my peices with less color.

whew..

The bottom line speaks, I suppose?
