Saddlepad Colours Not Always Accurate

[Myotto]

Hi. Has anyone found that some saddlepads look a totally different colour on websites than when you actually get them? I've noticed this particularly with Equestrian Stockholm. I ordered the Golden Brass which looked really 'yellowy brass' on the website but when it arrived it was light brown...almost identical to my PS of Sweden Iced Coffee pad. I would like to order an ES Emerald pad but I'm worried that it will just be green rather than what it looks like on the website.

I think the ES ones are more prone to this. I had Emerald but sold it cos it was much duller IRL than on the promo pics. I think it would have shone jewel-like in bright sunshine or under spotlights but your average UK day didn't set it off very well ?

All my Eskadron pads are the colour they look in photos though ?‍

I got the PS scarlet. It's not. In some lighting its deep pink, in others a dark pinky reddish rose.
But bright scarlet it definitely is not. Big shame as I wanted a scarlet RED one ? like in the advert....

The Equito are a pretty good match for what's advertised, at least with the ones I have got.

The ES brick orange goes very nicely Mmatchy with my workman hi viz orange jacket, I like that

Hm. My ES Emerald is quite vibrant, to me anyway. I found it the be as depicted.

Eskadron is pretty accurate, and Equito too.

I only ever ordered a black pad from PS of Sweden, so not much to go wrong there.

Same, I like my scarlet, but its not what I thought I was getting.
Brick orange is very close to esky vermillion - I've got ES boots that go with my vermillion pad.
Matchy Dressage are really good at doing comparison pics - I'm sure if you look on their Facebook they may have one, and if not theyd likely do one for you

Your ES emerald pad looks like the one on the website and I'd be happy with that but it looks a boring flat green in some pics!!

I was the opposite with the Scarlet, I ordered via Feather Dressage and on their page it def looked more of a cerise colour, I was relieved when it arrived and it was that shade because the horse it was for is a very orangey bay, red doesn’t really suit him ?
