XC colours for a grey...

[naza]

Hi all, am after opinions/pictures of those with grey and their cross country colours as I'm buying a new top and am thinking of changing colours.

This is our current colours...

Well, I was going to say blue - until I looked at your pictures .

The great thing about greys/light coloured horses is that most colours suit them, so it really depends on what colours you like . . . do you like bright/bold colours, or are you more of a fan of more conservative hues?

For greys, I really like dark, bold colours - any shade of blue (except baby blue), burgundy, dark green, dark/slate grey . . . if you wanted to be more adventurous you could try a raspberry/dark pink, a bright purple, lemon yellow, lime green, sage green (which I really like but looks washed out on my boy).

As an example of how boring we are, Kal's XC colours are black and white .

I used to have black and white on my dapple!

I love yellow but wasn't sure about yellow and a grey? Maybe yellow and purple then :?

Al has bright pink and navy, but plain navy arms.

Pretty much anything goes on a grey though, go with your favourite colours!

I used to wear yellow and black, did go rather well with my grey any it wasn't a very common colour combination .

I love red on my grey! A real statement colour

 

[FinkleyGladiator]

Green and black looked quite good on the grey I had

Yellow will make your grey look 'whiter'.

Be bold, go for something eyecatching like red with yellow stars.

My colours are turquoise and white, agree with the posters who say bold colours work best!

 

[Laafet]

Ditto, I've changed mine to turquoise and they really stand out, I wanted teal but it is a hard colour to find. Depends on the colour grey too, mine is white now and pastel shades look really washed out on him.

Purple or blue always look good.

Red always works on greys. It's very eye-catching too!

Have to admit to not being a big fan of red on a grey (as he is a white-grey not dappled) because it reminds me of the white pony from chapper happy ponies (or what it was called)

When Ginny Holgate/Leng was riding Murphy Himself I thought they looked really smart with Ginny's trademark purple;

Continuing with the old school legends, Lucinda Green's yellow always worked nicely on a grey;

Personally, when I was riding a dappled grey I wore a white top, had an emerald green BP and an emerald green hat silk which looked really nice. It was dark enough to not make me look like I was stealing Mary King's style

My body protector is purple and baby blue--Looks great on greys!

No pics as horse went lame before I could use it, but I have cerise pink and white (stars) as my colours on my grey. Although I think Cerise will suit my other horse too when the time comes so from that point it's all good, but I do plan to fitten up my grey to do some Xc this summer.
