Black or Beige? Can't decide.

I am customizing a jacket, but can't pick a color.

Normally, I would choose black but in this case, with your pictures, I like the beige better because the patches get too lost in the black background.

This was my thought as well.

Beige I think.

If you wan5vti show off your badge, definitely the beige.

Beige I agree with above reasons from others

Black for me. My beige top is always in the wash.

I think the beige - black looks good when it is new but will fade over time and start to look shabby regardless of how carefully it is laundered.
Great badge though smile

Beige - strangely enough it seems the more elegant of the two.

Another vote for beige.

I feel the same. The black loos wrong.

I wouldn’t normally even let the word beige past my lips but agree with others, the black one doesn’t look right with the badges.

I prefer the black. The badges are more subtle and tasteful against the black - and beige is so old lady!

Does it have to be either / or? A good group grey or a gingery colour would look good.

I think the overall effect is probably better with the black.

Definitely the black. Just don't wash the garment in biological liquid /powder. smile

I suppose it depends on where you would like to where it. If you want to make a statement then the black. If you would like to be understated then the beige for me. I would choose the colour on the basis of where I would wear it. Have you tried looking at it in different lights with either a black or beige to compare?

Beige logos stand out more

Summerfly Mon 01-Jul-24 11:35:11

Black for me.

pascal30 Mon 01-Jul-24 11:41:59

Definitely the black

I can’t wear anything black (cat and dog hairs) but, if not covered with hairs, it always looks smart.
Beige is boring.
