Pretty much as title really,
Atm have got a very light cream colour, but am starting to grow out of them, so need some more.
They are to be worn with a green tweed jacket, and I usually do LW hunter, Riding Horse etc
Any help very gratefully accepted!

Beige with Tweed - every time.
"Little people" can wear those canary things but "grown-ups" should not - and NEVER white. I even saw some which were bordering on lime-green last season. Less is more with a tweed coat.
 
Beige for hunter/RH and adults and those with less than perfect bums (I fall into this category

).
There are some lovely shades out there, Harry Hall do quite a 'sandy' one, and Cavallry from Cavalleti do a lovely beige (they are having a sale atm on the jods) My current one are Equetech. Very comfy and hide the cellulite

i thought canary was for m&m's or kiddies...i would go for beige!

Ditto, in my mind canary is for kids only, and I wouldn't wear it for M&M at all! I wear a sort of sandy beige johdpur (think as someone else said that they're Harry Hall) with my green tweed.

I wear cream/beige breeches - I do have some corn ones but these are for evening performance with my navy jacket which is a longer and covers more of my fat arse.

So basically beige, corn or canary are fine but white or any other colour is a big No.

Beige is more flattering to the fuller figure, hence why I wear them, and my corn ones are very delicate creamy yellow and not bright yellow - I really would look awful in that colour with my figure - like big bird off Seseme Street.

Take a look at Real Time Imaging photographer's website -any County show or HOYS....you'll see everything from corn to canary to cream and beige in the RH classes. But NEVER white!
I don't think I have ever seen a County level M&M rider NOT wearing at least corn jods! Sometimes downright yellow.
