Martin B Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I really would like to get a purple eglu when I get my MK2, but how purple is it? The picture it shows on the colour selection menu is the purple I want, but on a picture of a purple eglu it looks far too purple! Any help Appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Martin, you can see my purple eglu in the photos in my signature. It does look bright when the sun is on it but look like the colour in the omlet shop when it is duller. Hope this helps Jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks very much Jayne just about to look at your photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Purple is cool! Go for it Martin! It looks just like the Purple on the eglu emoticon thing on here. (See below) Is it limited edition? Is it gonna be as sought after as the yellow one someday? Its the blue colour i'm confused with. On the colour selection menu on omlet the blue looks lovely - see below http://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/shop.php?cat=Eglu&sub=Chickens but if you select it and go through the buying procvess - ie typing in p/code etc it shows you the blue eglu, run and feeders and it looks a horrid blue! Perhaps my next one should be "Ooops, word censored!"nal red instead?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Is there such a thing as "far too purple"???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I think too purple is just sickly but ok purple is lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 glad you worked that out Martin We have a blue one and i think its a nice blue - but it depends what your definition of a horrid blue is................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Birmingham City blue is horrible blue, Nice blue is lighter. Blue is 2nd on the list. Purple or Blue! I wouldn't mind one of each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I think you should aim for one of EVERY colour Martin - I am sure that your parents would love the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Well I might just do that. But I don't think I'll tell them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Martin, you're like me and couldn't make your mind up about the colour's the blue and purple eglu's were my other choices too. Purple and blue was joint 1st. But the green one is lovely and Dad's happy as it blends in!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 My Dad prefers the green because it blends in but Purple is much more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I might go for blue next,as it will look great with my pink one. I don't DO purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Can you fit another one in Sarah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Always room for another Eglu Martin No - it would be the MK3 to replace my green MK2 actually! No school today??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've seen the purple one at Omlet mothership and it's a lovely colour - Cadbury's purple. A neighbour down the road has a blue one, and it's not a rich sort of blue, in fact I find it a bit drab, but then I like bright colours.

Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's quite interesting really to hear everyones different views of the colours. I suppose I'd have to see the purple, just remembering I've already seen the blue ducklu of Lesleys and I quite like it. Any purple egluowners in the Midlands?

Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 A nice bright aqua blue would be nice,wouldn't it? A sort of bright turquoise............it would look great with the pink I thought the blue would be bright,I like bright colours too,Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 I WOULD buy a turquoise eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The blue one would've been nice if it was a cobalt sort of blue, but I found it quite dull. But the lady who owns it prefers it like that. I'd love a purple one, wonder if it fades though I was looking at my pink Rablu on Saturday as ai washed it - it has faded, but I quite like the slightly bleached pink look it has. I reckon that a sort of sage/khaki green would go down well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have noticed that my cousins pink rablu has faded slightly but it looks georgeous, I quite like the pink but can't be bothered to deal with the stick I would get. My cousins get the Internet at their house today and my oldest cousin might join the forum! Here is a picture of my cousins which i took last night as they were getting ready for the halloween party they were going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Fab! Their's looks a lot pinker than mine, but then I got it at the end of last year and it was 6 months old then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I reckon that a sort of sage/khaki green would go down well. Ooooo - that would match my new Crocs Great phot Martin. Don't worry about getting teased if you got a pink Eglu. It takes a real man to wear pink (or you could always say its your Mums ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
