Chair Colour Guide
Chair Colour Guide
Colour affects how a room photographs, how a venue feels at capacity and whether the furniture blends into the setting or becomes a visual feature. This guide covers which colours suit which events.
Available in black, blue, green, grey, orange, red and white. Moulded polypropylene shell on a chrome steel base. The 7-colour range makes this the most versatile chair for colour-specific event briefs.
| Colour | Best suited to | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Corporate, hospitality, contemporary venues | Works indoors and outdoors; the safest choice for a neutral brief |
| Grey | Corporate, training, mixed-use events | The most versatile neutral alongside white; reads well in most room aesthetics |
| White | Weddings, product launches, contemporary venues | The most requested single colour; pairs well with formal and contemporary setups |
| Blue | Sports events, corporate brand-match | Works well for clubs and organisations with blue in their brand identity |
| Red | Brand-led events, vibrant hospitality | High-impact colour; strong photographic presence in a white or neutral room |
| Orange | Festivals, casual hospitality, branded events | Works at outdoor festivals and for operators with orange brand colours |
| Green | Outdoor events, environmental brands | Reads naturally outdoors; popular for garden events and eco-themed functions |
Mixing colours: Using one colour per table (all red on one table, all blue on another) creates a deliberate festival look and works at casual outdoor events. Randomly mixing colours across a single table usually looks unplanned. In a formal setting, use one colour throughout.
Available in black, blue, grey, red and white. The same shell family as the Eames chair but with integrated arms — a step up in comfort for longer seated events. Colour guidance is the same as the standard Eames chair. Orange and green are not available in the Eiffel range.
Available in black and white. Powder-coated steel. Black suits industrial, contemporary and outdoor settings. White works for garden events and lighter terrace environments. Both colours handle outdoor use well; store under cover over winter to extend the finish life.
Available in limewash, white and gold. Limewash is the most-hired colour for UK weddings — the washed timber look suits country house and barn venues. White suits contemporary and hotel settings. Gold is popular for gala and award dinners.
