I'm just getting stuff for my boy, as hes going to be backed in a month, I've gone for the standard blue or blue and red but I think that so Standard, just wondered what other colours people have tried on their bays?

my dunn mare has everything in purple, which I love but want his stuff to be different
 
Our bright bay NF has red or red and white, our bay mare has bright purple. However we do have a bright yellow tail bandage that looks good with the bright bay so did wonder if you could get yellow everything. I also fancied a bright emerald green velvet numnah, but there's a limit to the amount of matchy matchy you can spare cash for.....
 
Orange or Yellow, ( luckily its his favourite colour as well as mine ).
I like him in green as well and have seen a minty green saddlecloth that I would like for him
Kx
 
Mostly brown for everyday, his a very light bay almost golden dun in summer, I show him so got him a lovely showing browband which is navy and a pale gold which looks really nice, but I think bays look nice in most colours. I also have a very dark bay mare most of her stuff is also brown but she looks lovely in dark green.
 
My dark bay is in any colour for every day. But xc i love bright red, my daughter loves bottle green for her colours. But i think any colour goes. White does look super smart as it matches his sock and star.
 
I have so many matchy sets for my bay but I'd say he looks best in red and also the eskadron platinum black and navy look fab on him!
 
I started off with blue and green. I really wanted purple but I'd have felt bad putting a boy in purple (how silly) but now I've given in and gone with my favourite colour purple. It doesn't really suit his colour but I don't care now. We only do light hacking so it doesn't really matter :)

Mine looks lovely in burgundy. Navy is nice too. My favourite however is my chocolate and pistachio set!

The purple over reaches look pretty cool too. That's his summer colour, he's much darker at the moment.

And him in burgundy. This is more the colour he is at the moment.

I'm planning my XC colours at the moment and I'm thinking burgundy, yellow and gold at the moment. His show browband is burgundy and gold.

I do want to get something bright blue though. And more lime green. And purple. And orange. I love bright colours and thankfully he can pull them off!

I checked about this with the seller and apparently they do it deliberately when they are out of stock to put people off ordering, but it still allows them to keep the listing ready for when stock is replenished so they pay less ebay fees.

I love their turquoise set on daughter's dark bay, and it looks good on my bright bay. A real royal blue, burgundy, bright scarlet would look good too, perhaps even the orange?
 
It really depends on the shade of bay. My Dark bay can pull off anything though I really like her in Dark Orange, but on a bright bay it would look clashy!

For shows though it is either white or navy

I quite fancy something bright for the summer, maybe lime green or yellow
