Question of colour

Post by EM63 »

Do you have some inspiration for the colour of new biminis, covers and stripes :roll:

For example:

My boat has had white canvass and black canvass over the years - each had their own problems.

Now, I have this brand new cool blue color which looks great.

Seems to stay cooler and have less bird poop on it.

Plus, the canvass of today is not like it was a few years ago - it is much better!

That picture is always in my mind, and all of your others.
It's still in my design-collection to show Detlef what's possible to make.

2 : 2 blue to burgundy

Lets not forget will it match the boot stripe? But I do prefer the burgundy like Jamies but NOT because of the Dedskins! :lol: :lol: Ooops typo! Sorry!

+1

I looked at a lot of magazine pictures, and other boats in my harbor, before I chose my color scheme (mostly black). It really is a matter of personal preference, but there sure are a lot of boats that are white, with blue accent.

For what it's worth, it seems most boats have 'cool' colors (blue, green), but the few boats that have 'warm' colors (red, orange, yellow, maroon) seem to stand out, and look good to my eye.
