I LOVE black and a true green together so that would be my pick. If you really want a solid then I'd almost pick a solid fabric in the shade of green used in the bird print.

I love how yellow pops with a fabulous green yard. <br />The chairs are a great find.. my girlfriend has an uncanny ability to find those treasures and turn them into beautiful items..

The color would almost be neutral as there is so much green in the great outdoors, yet unique at the same time with the birds. And it seems more versatile when setting your table for summer gatherings- you could use any number of color schemes and floral arrangements. I don't think it competes with the chair back and, as for fading, every color is going to have that possibility when exposed to sun. Also, unless your stains are the same color as the fabric, which is highly unlikely, every fabric has the potential to show stains. But if the fabric is washable, you can always remove and clean the seats. And keeping the cost down is a great idea because you can always switch out the fabric when it shows wear or you tire of it. Good luck !a little bit of everythinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552818480890264646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313137434991778770.post-17779402544917226302009-05-28T20:05:09.136-04:002009-05-28T20:05:09.136-04:00Thanks for your comments everyone.

I'm also thinking if I do the turquoise that I may have to throw a black and white stripe on a bench cushion!

Not only will it "pop" against the black, but I think the bird print will compete with the diamonds created by the caning on the back of the chairs. That will make them busy to look at.

Those white birds may not be white for long and the contrast with the green may not keep its 'pop'. I like the brighter turquoise for a good everyday outdoor chair color, very classic.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982129232690995598noreply@blogger.com
