I think a red might clash with the bricks, white gets dirty fast and black is hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778914 Mon, 13 May 2013 17:50:20 +0000 spaniellove 778914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the yellow suggestion! It would really pop against your brick wall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778907 Mon, 13 May 2013 17:46:47 +0000 Reese 778907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: ding ding ding! we have a winner! love this combo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778770 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:28:17 +0000 aprk 778770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lime green! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778768 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:27:37 +0000 swurlygurl 778768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a deep plum would look SO good with your brick! Plus, it's fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778749 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:21:23 +0000 sera_87 778749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lime green! Teal! Yellow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778746 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:19:50 +0000 citymouse 778746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do black, so that you can punch it up with fun accessories! Like the umbrella, pillows on chairs, placemats, dishes, etc... I think choosing a super punchy color for the table could be really cool, but I think it would really limit the way you accessorize it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778503 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:49:05 +0000 loveisstrange 778503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something bright and fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778007 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:47:19 +0000 chopsuey 778007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know why, but I'm thinking lime green. HAHa. I would paint it a pretty color :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-778001 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:45:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 778001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @Mrs. Pen: Oooo I hadn't thought about teal or turquoise, either! My favorite color! (Clearly I need more coffee today!) I think E and I will take a stroll up to the hardware store later and see what they have. </p> <p>Thanks for the feedback everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777996 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:45:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 777996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would paint it teal or plum or bright yellow or mint green or coral. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777991 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:44:08 +0000 banana 777991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely paint it a bright bold color. Teal sounds so pretty. I would paint it teal and add white chairs with some pretty pillows (maybe coral and yellow?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777984 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:42:35 +0000 Sophia 777984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @knittylady: I third teal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777974 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:40:36 +0000 knittylady 777974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I second teal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777871 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:17:50 +0000 BananaPancakes 777871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the plum option. I wouldn't have normally thought of that color, but I just got this catalog the other day and saw this plantation chair in plum, and immediately wanted it for the back porch. I never use purple, so I say go for it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.grandinroad.com/plantation-chair-collection/outdoor-living/chairs-chaises/430781?defattrib=&#038;defattribvalue=&#038;listIndex=13" rel="nofollow">http://www.grandinroad.com/plantation-chair-collection/outdoor-living/chairs-chaises/430781?defattrib=&#038;defattribvalue=&#038;listIndex=13</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777864 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:16:15 +0000 runsyellowlites 777864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out of your choices I would do plum! </p> <p>I would love yellow or turquoise for myself though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777858 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:15:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 777858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since it's outside I think a bright fun color like teal would be gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777855 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:14:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 777855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote plum. It would pop against the brick as opposed to red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777853 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:13:15 +0000 anbanan15 777853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think plum would be awesome and pop! Black and white would be the most classic though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777850 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:12:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 777850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I hadn't considered how hot black might get in the summer, and I think it would definitely be an issue, especially in the afternoons, since our deck faces west. I think I'm leaning towards purple, but hadn't thought about yellow...hmm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777842 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:09:08 +0000 stargal 777842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bright yellow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777833 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:06:09 +0000 illumina 777833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, maybe not green then. Maybe purple or a lighter grey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777832 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:05:32 +0000 photojane 777832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would paint it yellow because I'm insane, but I think purple is my favorite of your options. I love purple! Plus, I'm with @MamaMoose... black would get really hot in the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777831 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:05:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 777831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: We have a patio set that's...charcoal? Very dark grey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777828 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:03:47 +0000 MamaMoose 777828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think black would get really hot. Red might be a little aggressive but I think a dark purple would look great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777826 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:03:27 +0000 illumina 777826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted black, but now I think about it I might be tempted to do a dark green. Do you have any other garden furniture to go with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-choose-a-paint-color#post-777818 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:01:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 777818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ILs gave us this old patio table for our deck, and I hate the color (it also needs a good scrubbing...). I'm planning on painting it but can't decide on a color. I think black or white would be the smartest choice but I'm also tempted by red or plum. </p> <p>What color would you paint this table? </p> [attach=1866/13/mmqxy1.450x600.image.jpg]
