How important is color?

Color is not really important but again you have to go for something that blends with the grass or better still, pleases the eye. I would go for a light shade.

I've recently relocated to San Diego in Southern Cal, and the people here are more image conscious than anywhere I ever lived. I would imagine color would be quite important here!

That is an interesting observation. Have you looked around to note what color they prefer for their mowers? I would go for nothing less than green.

Not a putdown, but that sounds like California...gotta keep up with the Joneses next door. I think the ulitimate would be a custom painted mower that matches your car. Back about 1988, before I purchased my first garden tractor, a Deere 318, I saw one with custom painted murals on the hook and side panels. After buying mine, I priced having the same type of painting done...once I found the cost, I said "heck no" because I would have been so worried about the murals getting scratched up.

The majority of my push mowers have been silver grey (Craftsman and Husqvarna) dark green (Craftsman and Yard Man) and I recently purchased a black one (Brute), To me, a push mower color is not important, I care more about the finish being durable and not rusting.

Don't most brands stick with a similar line of colors? John Deere is green, Scotts is orange, Cub Cadet is yellow, Troy-built is red, etc. It seems to me that the brand name, reliability, maintenance, etc. are a lot more important that the color.

I have never liked the color yellow, but I sure do Love my Hustler mower!!:laughing: (my favorite color has always been red)

My first push mower was a Monkey Ward, it was yellow, I didn't take good care of it so it died and early, rusty demise. Wish now I had kept it, maight have been a collectors item by now (1973)

If you buy by color alone, you are really limiting what you buy. Color has nothing at all to do with quality.

I think if you pick the right color Green for example you have a wide range to choose from.:biggrin:

If you let color alone guide you... you may find yourself regretting that you didn't approach it 'color blind'...
Brand loyalty has betrayed many consumers in recent years.
Name brands have been swapped around as if they had no value... :smile:KennyV
