I like those colors.
Not sure how I feel about this scarf so far. :/

I don't think I'm allowed in Canada.
Everybody's allowed in Canada. Our population's too small and our border's too long to afford a wall. Maybe a privacy hedge.
Not true. We had a friend visit from Florida one year, and the border turned him away when we were trying to go to Victoria BC. Apparently, a 40+ year old assault charge from one's late teens is an undesirable trait to those wily Canucks.

Mexico gets a wall, Canada gets a hand-knit hedge. Who says we don't play favorites?

Well. If the man in question doesn't like it, I will happily take any rejects. They all looked lovely to me.
Thanks.
Gotcha. Looks like you prefer the lighter yarns that make for finer fabrics. What about chunky yarn? The closest thing I have to a dark solid is a chunky. I have lots of lighter weight acrylics but there's no way I'm making a gift scarf out of that crap.

I wear either cotton scarfs or cashmere. I don't wear acrylic anything. I don't like the chunky scarfs either. Since I wear scarfs only when I need to, and never as a fashion statement, the scarfs need to be functional, warm, and not itchy, and cashmere is the warmest and softest wool I know.

I can't afford cashmere. This gift recipient will have to get by on a wool and cotton blend.

I'm seeing cashmere from about $10 There are also blends with cotton or silk for just about the same price. How much yarn do you need for a scarf? https://www.jimmybeanswool.com/knitting/yarn/Sublime/BabyCashmereMerinoSilkDK.asp?specPCVID=21420&advSourceID=9&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8Ojjm__y1wIVk42zCh3XPwe5EAYYByABEgL_B_D_BwE
Choosing the right blend is important.
There is also Alpaca, very soft and warm wool for about $6.95

Not personally, no. But maybe that's just me. And I do wear scarves, but I don't think I'd wear that one. I'm not denigrating it al all. And you seem to be a very skilful scarf-maker.
Another scarf made that I don't like. Do I frog it or finish it and move on? Fuck.

What's not to like about it?
I don't know. I'm uncertain about it. It looks kind of boring, but it's also soft and squishy. It also has a matching hat already made.
