Classic Beige
Beige is a classic neutral colour that’ll fit in with any home or commercial property. It’s a colour that is said to have a soothing and calming effect, great for a shade sail covering a pool, a lounge area or even an outdoor yoga studio. A beige sail is ideal for beach homes and for properties surrounded by greenery.
Modern Grey
Grey is a cool, modern colour, that’ll let other bright colours pop. It will also work well if you want it to blend in with a darker coloured property.
