If so what is their hair/fur colour? For us, picking something that was similar in tone to our dogs was crucial! lol! Even though they aren't allowed on the couches they do sometimes sneak up and in general a hair here or there floats on. Brown was our worst enemy. Gray worked better for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1358108 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 10:27:12 +0000 swedishfish 1358108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer brown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1358090 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 10:07:25 +0000 delight 1358090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our gray couch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1358089 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 10:06:07 +0000 autumnlove 1358089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1358081 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 09:58:33 +0000 MrsH 1358081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1358076 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 09:55:08 +0000 dolphin 1358076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gray!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1358049 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 09:29:00 +0000 gilmoregirl 1358049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the grey for fabric, and I'm in agreement with the others who find brown to be more of a neutral when it's leather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1357941 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:52:21 +0000 Anagram 1357941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted gray, but now that I think about it....our couch is actually a brown-black Ikea kramfors sectional couch and it's very neutral. Our couch pillows are red, black, and white. </p> <p>Brown seems neutral to me here, but of course it's leather.</p> <p>[attach=2976/14/mzl4f9.600x371.room-and-board.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1357934 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:32:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1357934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think red and turquoise look much better with gray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1357836 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:12:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 1357836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love gray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1357831 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:08:31 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1357831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thing about gray is that I feel like it'll match with ANY color decor. Brown just matches with the colors that match brown. Also, I feel that brown gives a room a very warm and cozy feeling, not in a good way but kind of in an overly casual way? I just think gray can be more sleek/chic than brown is what I guess i'm trying to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1356910 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:11:44 +0000 lawbee11 1356910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gray for sure!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1356909 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:10:56 +0000 snowjewelz 1356909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted gray!

My fav is that the arms are flat enough that you can balance drinks on them (only ssafe when kids are sleeping!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1356866 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:54:22 +0000 Shutterbug 1356866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both a brown sectional in the living room and a gray sectional in the family room. I voted gray because I feel like gray is very in right now, and brown is very out. Our brown couch looks dated compared to our gray couch, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1356865 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:53:49 +0000 Radish 1356865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer gray for fabrics and brown for leather - so gray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-couch#post-1356860 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:51:03 +0000 Weagle 1356860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have really, really deep brown (almost black) couches, and I LOVE them!

We traded up a couple months ago and got a used Bassett sectional. Its upholstery has seen better days, so we want to reupholster it.</p> <p>Right now, the couch is kind of a strange medium, golden latte color. Its a very strange brown and we dont really like it. We're thinking either a nice chocolate brown or going back charcoal gray. We can't decide! My first choice was red, but DH vetoed that.</p> <p>Our other furniture will match either. Our pillows, etc are red and turquoise... so pretty much match either also.</p> <p>Which would you choose?</p> <p>The first picture is our couch, the others are demonstrating the two colors we were thinking. </p> [attach=1353/14/mzk6jl.600x450.3850-usectu.jpg] [attach=1353/14/mzk6jn.399x600.30ee045e71db2177c36b1f8c010dfdae.jpg] [attach=1353/14/mzk6jo.600x400.f7551.jpg] [attach=1353/14/mzk6jq.500x336.liv-room-prog1.jpg] [attach=1353/14/mzk6jr.590x443.mochi_livingroom_metal.jpg]
