using disagree for dress or color

[alpacinou]

Is it correct to use "disagree" this way?

1. You should buy that yellow dress. It suits you perfectly. -You know yellow disagrees with me.

2. Sundresses disagree with me. I never buy them.

3. The color you have used for painting disagrees with the design of the house.

If it doesn't work, what can I use instead?

It's used for food. Example:

Something I ate disagrees with me.

But color?

1. You should buy that yellow dress. Yellow is your color.
2. I don't like sundresses, so I don't buy them.
3. The color you chose for trim clashes with the other color.

I don't know.
:-?

Can I say "yellow never suits me"?

Can I say "Yellow never suits me"?

You can but "never" is odd there. Either yellow suits you or it doesn't. Just say "Yellow doesn't suit me". It fits better when talking about a permanent fact.

Do I have other options?

Would you get mad if I asked for an idiom?

Probably (to both).

 

[alpacinou]

Probably (to both).

Then I'm not going to ask.

Well, I'm pretty sure we don't use disagree. We might say one color clashes with another or something like that. As for an idiom, nothing comes to mind.
