Colour Choice help!

[caliman]

Planning on ordering a new beach but having trouble deciding on the colour. Quite fancy blackberry but worried that it looks too brown in the pictures. Can anyone please give me some reassurance and/or post me some pictures. Most of the colour choices just seem too boring please convince me otherwise.

Ahem. Mine has now been built, awaiting transportation from Germany, and she IS brown and definitely not boring :lol:

On a more serious note, I have seen a Cali in blackberry, close-up and outside on a fairly dull day, and it didn't look brown at all to me. If anything, I would say that at a glance, when not in bright sunlight, it could more easily pass for black.

Good luck choosing!

I agree with Maud, I've never thought our Blackberry looked brown in any light. Though when I read your post, I looked again at our photos and I guess looking at some of those it might be possible to think its a really dark brown but never in the flesh. I know I'm biased but It really is an interesting colour and looks great in different lights. At night in the dark, it can look blackish which is a a bonus if you don't want to be too obvious.

Personally I think Blackberry is one of the best colours (although we don't have it as we purchased a demo and had no choice...)

Although if you are buying it as a long term companion, then just get the colour you like the best.

If you are looking for the most popular colour to resell in a few years then silver or grey are the most common, so probably most popular.

I agree with looby we went with Blackberry and I've had no regrets at all we absolutely love it ,clean or dirty looks stunning

If I were ordering today I would go for Blackberry too

Thank you for all your comments, blackberry will be our colour of choice, just have not seen one in the flesh.

It's a great colour IMO - that wasn't out when we bought ours...

I've seen a beach in blackberry in the flesh. Didn't like it. Mrs Blakey loved it. I would advise seeing for real before ordering.

Also I think resale value/options may be reduced if you go for a more unusual colour.

Still, each to their own.

Cheers

Thank you for all the replies and the offer from Shaun. We have now seen a blackberry(caddy) in the flesh and really liked the colour so will be ordering one soon (just not a caddy!)
