Which patio umbrella color should I get

4 years ago

I recently had to take down my patio cover. Long story. But now I am embracing the natural light but would like to get a 13’x13’ altura cantilever umbrella from Frontgate. Although expensive, its the best option unless you know of others that size. But I am torn on the color. I’m thinking the natural canopy color but the blue could add color as that is what is missing. I definitely want the brown teak frame but torn on the natural or blue color. I do have a rug that also is a light color beige which I could add color there but wondering what should be the right color to choose?

Provided the link for options that show both colors that i am interested in. I also provided pictures of the open space on my patio and I provided pictures of my sectional which I purchased from Lane Venture Campbell: https://authenteak.com/lane-venture-campbell-armless-chair/

I always love color outside so I would do the blue and then add some accent pillows with that blue in them on the sofa. I have no idea the size of the space but a 13' umbrella seems a bit too large IMO

The longest size of the sectional is 152” and the patio is about 5 feet longer than that and the other side of the sectional is 112”.

13’x10’ could work as well

Don't choose dark colors, beige or blue are great choices. It should be noted that it is better to close the umbrella when it is not normally used.

I’d go neutral beige. That way it is your natural environment that takes central stage…flowers, greenery, etc. And, you have more freedom in changing your accessory colors. What a lovely patio!

Nice patio!

That appears to be a Sunbrella-like fabric, in which case, the dark blue will be far more resistant to mildew and sun damage than wuld the lighter colors. Get yourself a bottle of https://www.sailrite.com/303-Fabric-Guard-Gallon and get religious about applying it - we do two applications per summer and usually another one sometime in the winter as well. It’s not cheap, but neither is marine grade fabric. We have a 12’x 12’ cantilever umbrella, and it is the bomb.
