Tessa the Duchess Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I guess I have been forced into the boring old green When I was choosing my Eglu colour last year I had already decided I wanted 'boring old green' because it would fit in with the garden and DH was in complete agreement. We both thought it would be the most popular Eglu colour choice. I was amazed when I started using this forum that the really bright colours were the most popular Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked great. I've no idea where the pictures are lurking though, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I went for green as well - our garden is very small and mostly greens and browns (fences and foliage plants), so a splash of pink or purple (not that they had purple ones back then) would have really looked obtrusive. Good luck with your cube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 our 1st eglu was green for the same reason (to blend in with the garden!) We ordered another one in bright orange last year and the orange is fab I love it more than the green its a really zesty orange and really compliments the green plants. If I was getting a cube I would get orange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Mine was ordered by friends, and they chose purple - I did have the chance to change it, but felt it would look a bit ungrateful. I thought it looked a bit out of place, until my Jackmannii clematis bloomed in the summer - suddenly I realised that it was a perfect match, and that purple against green leaves, grass etc. is entirely natural. The green one was second-hand, it's quite a pleasant colour, but give me any time! I'm getting ready to order a now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
