Bad 80's Colors?

I just read this post John K made about 80's backgrounds on the Jetsons:

Jetsons 85 Backgrounds

This is of concern to me due to the obvious 80's influence on my film as well as my use of pinks, purples and violets. The funny thing is, this isn't the first time I've heard someone say you shouldn't use purple, yet I'm still not so sure why.

I guess you can't please everyone. I just don't see what's so wrong about using funky colors.

First BG

I've been working on a color script lately, but before even finishing, I jumped the gun and made this background for the shots of Blu at the bar.



Wanted to focus on basic shapes without too many details and no outlines so the characters can really pop.
