Author Topic:   Canvas Colors

Feejer posted 07-23-2008 08:56 AM ET (US)
I have a 2005 170 MONTUAK whose color I'm trying to match as closely as I can with Mills canvas. I have narrowed it down to Oyster or Natural. Anyone else using the same colors?
Thanks

Go to this link or to the Mills Canvas site, and check the color chart for their SUNBRELLA canvas

Thanks, but I do know what the colors look like. I'm just not sure which of the two is closer to the deck and console color

Also be aware that the appearance of colors is highly dependant on your monitor and video cards so Feejer has the right idea to solicite info from those that may own/know the proper color to choose from a specific manufacturer.

You could order a Sunbrella fabric swatch sample card to hold up to the boat you are trying to match. Below is the place where I got one for only $3, but I'm sure there are other places to get one.

A local canvas shop would probably let you borrow their sample card too.
Note that Natural is a very light color, which will show dirt more and might be blindingly bright on a white boat. I'm no expert in boat fashion, but don't you want to have a contrasting color rather than trying to match the boat color?

I went with Natural, same color I had on my Sea Hunt. I like white, stays cool and I never had a problem with dirt.

The Sunbrella color TOAST is a good choice for a classic look. It strongly resembles the color of the original cotton duck canvas.
