Are "sound color" of codecs important for you?

I just prefer quality and fidelity, sound color is not important for me.
Sound color is important for me but I still prefer higher quality. (Please specify: which codecs/encoders are good and which ones are bad for you?)
Sound color is very important for me and I prefer a good sound color over higher quality. (Please specify: which codecs/encoders are good and which ones are bad for you?)

Am I the only person who prefers a good MP3 over Vorbis, Opus, and most of other modern codecs for music for all and especially low bitrates? (Yes, for example I prefer a 32kbps MP3 over 32kbps Opus, even with sinc interpolation. MP3's artifacts don't annoy me if it's encoded by a good encoder, but a 32kbps Opus is almost not listenable for me.)
