Black or Beige? Can't decide.

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

Black

Definitely the black

Black for me.

Beige logos stand out more

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

I feel the same. The black loos wrong.

Another vote for beige.

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

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

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

MrsIffitFromOffit Mon 01-Jul-24 05:39:27

Beige I agree with above reasons from others

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

nanna8 Mon 01-Jul-24 04:29:48

Beige I think.

This was my thought as well.

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