Do you colour co-ordinate your horsey things?

As per title. Do you tend to buy things all of the same colour as far as possible for your horse? If so what colour for what colour of horse? I Go for hunter green and burgandy as far as possible (except for dressage) for a chestnut.
 
I have a lot of purple stuff for Alisha and a lot of blue stuff for Jigsaw but if i see something i like and it's in a different colour i still buy it!!!

I have a chestnut and I have to say everything is purple! I will always buy anything in purple if I have a choice but I have just bought an under rug in blue (it was the only colour!)
 
I have a chestnut, and black and white seem to be the theme so far, except for rugs, aslong as they're not pink or horrible looking! He has two tone burgandy/navy, two tone blue/blue which looks very smart.
 
I've got a grey. Tack is black. Saddlecloths are white. Travel stuff is navy apart from the tailguard which only came in black. Rugs are FAL coloured, whatever that may be!!
 
No!
I have three horses...and have rugs dating back 13 years. They wear whatever rug fits them and is the right weight for the temperature (and tonight, they are rugged to the eyeballs as its sleeting here and they're out).
If you have three of different sizes, colour co-ordinating stuff can be a pain in the ass as you're always picking up the wrong one.

Oh god yeh not so much with turnout rugs although i do prefer certain colours but show rugs,hoods,travel boots,tailguard,saddle cloths,brushes my jackets almost everything is baby blue bound with navy,and if i cant buy it i have it made rugs that is.all my horses have had the same colours and it looks stunning on a chestnut.Sad i know but when i go to shows i do like to look the bizz!!!!
 
the grooming kits are either pink for sol or blue for red. fleece stable bandages are either pink, navy, royal or black, depending on whats clean. work boots for either horse are pink, or purple, or black.
as for tack- sol has a black wintec and a black bridle for schooling or that lovely stubben-only reddy brown bridle for jumping/cantering. red has a faded brown saddle and a brown bridle but his grackle noseband is tan. both have brown girths- i dont like black girths.
now, rugs..... dont care what colour they are- they all end up covered in shite/mud.
oh, and their headcollars are dark brown leather ones with a blue thorowgood leadrope!
 
Sometimes, my chesnut has got quite alot of stuff accumulated over the years, but i mainly seem to stick to black and white with him.

My newby black horse has alsorts of colours, my fave at the moment is a really rich burgundy numnah with matching bandages..but because she is a girl she has a pink tartan 'chavvy' travel kit.hee hee
 
i wish! i just get the best quality for the best price generally, colour does come into it and initially i look for colour, but i end up getting the besr buy i can, that culminates itself into my horses wardrobe having something of every colour!

I used to!!!! Cant be bothered anymore. Whatever is in the sale!!!! I do like to have different colours of turnout rugs so I know which ones belong to which horses.
 
My dun boy looks very handsome with dark green saddlecloths and headcolours and I think royal blue is the colour for my new black boy. In the dim distant past when I was a child everything horsy came in shades of mud.
 
i've just got my new boy who's black and since he didnt come with anything i am trying to get as much as i can in bottle green with navy trim, having said that his stable rug and turnout are what ever colour they came in, his turnouts already mud brown!!
 
bearing in mind i dont have my own horse, all my stuff tends to be blue, any shades, but usually baby blue
