More color opinions...(pictures)

**bclemens** · 02-25-2015, 10:53 AM

OK before everyone says the pattern is too busy...the pattern will only be on the valance top and (2) pillows.

Color 1 is more neutral. It will have all leather furniture (lighter brown), the leather has some sheen to it and will have light colored top stitch. Safer bet.

Color 2 has a little more color. The fabric incorporates a tiny bit of teal and yellow. The brown is darker without the sheen. Will be all leather with a bold light colored stitch..

(Also before I get the "I hate leather, I need fabric"...we will have a neutral fabric option for those that have to have fabric...but 98% of what we build is leather/polyeurethane)

Comments?

I vote #2. The larger more colorful pattern will make the interior seem larger and will give the owner a larger color palette to work with when she starts to add personal items such as pillows and quilts.

Sorry, they are both the same scale...my pictures just don't reflect that. I'll see if I can fix it.

I agree on #2, more interesting to the eye and the teal / yellow highlights will give more color matching options for the owner.

I like the neutral fabric and the darker leather.

We like #2 option, especially since the patterned fabric is only on the window valances. Now your'e making progress, although you'll never please everyone, as you know.

We like #2, as well. Does anyone like a stripe pattern? I only say that because I believe a stripe fabric can go with many other patterns an owner might want to add...florals, polka dots, various textures, even animal prints.
Just a thought.

Good Idea! Maybe they could also offer a stripe pattern. There currently are 3 patterns offered in Sunseeker, so it seems that there could be stripes also. The current choices are so similar to each other that a real choice would be great.

Another vote for #2...

n-e-d · 02-25-2015, 02:47 PM

Mojojojo · 02-25-2015, 02:49 PM

#2 is our vote

If I have to pick one, it would be number 2. Why are all campers brown/tan/grey/beige? So boring...I sometimes wonder who picks the fabrics and patterns. Some that I saw at a recent camper show were just horrible.

MrJoe · 02-25-2015, 04:01 PM

Same here, of the two...number two.

Sunnyfun · 02-25-2015, 04:31 PM

Number two, also. I think the teal helps.

**Terier** · 02-25-2015, 04:43 PM

Choice 2 for reasons already stated.

Because everyone can deal with neutral. For every color someone LOVES you can find someone that HATES it. We have to commit to so much yardage of fabric/leather that we can't afford to have a color that 80% of the people hate (been there, done that). You'd rather have colors that 100% of the people can live with as opposed to an awesome color that 20% of the people love 80% hate.

having said that, I think we can get a little more bold in our colors choices by using them on pillows only and I'm working on an easily changeable valance as well.

I understand the neutral thought..but why so....dark BROWN?? It's always brown, or plaid, or fiberglassy looking. Forest River and Rockwood aren't so bad, but man, some of the campers - and I mean brand new are decorated like something out of the 70's or earlier. Wooly looking plaid...really?? I passed up on a few nice models of other manufacturers because I just couldn't handle the color scheme. It was like a dungeon dark.

Why such wild patterns? It looks like still in the 70s. The patterns look like something straight out of a show in the 70s but I cannot remember the name. Why do the valances and pillows have to have such old looking patterns? All I can think of is flower power. Why not just neutral colors so the customer can decorate to these colors.
