Need help with stand color!

[revhtree]

Guys I have to pick a color for my new stand and wanted your opinion.

I want a "white" stand, but not sure what shade I should do. I want a sleek modern look. The color in the picture below in "linen" and is not a stark white which I think might be too much.

The stand will essentially look like this one almost exactly.

Rev - I think that color would be perfect...Is it going to sit in front of wood like that tank..because the contrast looks nice!

 

[Troylee]

it really depends on the surroundings and what your after.... do you want it to pop and really stick out or just something subtle that goes with every thing???

 

[revhtree]

Hmmm I kinda want it to look like a piece of art! HA!

 

[Troylee]

wood, stone, raw metal??? lot's of possibilities...... not sure what your into.... one of my favs is ed reefs it's just super clean!!!!!!!!! here is a couple pics or the whole thread it's pure awesome!!!!!!!!! feel free to delete the link if needed just thought i would share...

I really like valspars "sailcloth" white I did my kitchen cabinets in it & they turned out awsome is more a warm white rather than the cool whites

I would go with the linen white. The design is reminiscent of the "aqua design amano" look.

Wow Troy that is a pretty sweet looking stand...a little to red for my taste but no the less nicely done. My stupid work filter wont let me go to the website - Any pics with the tank on it?

Rev - I was thinking maybe if you know an artist, you could have them paint a mural on it, reef or fish or something that goes with your place?

Ferrari red is the color your looking for

My near future build

The simplicity of the first design draws all of the attention to the real art: the reef.

Troylee, what are the dimensions of that shallow reef? That things incredible!

 

[fsu1dolfan]

Thanks Troy - Probably my fault anyway for the derailment! BTW i wasnt expecting to see a low tank!!

 

[Troylee]

When you have time skim through the thread I posted a link above just awesome man he had custom rocks made to house tunze pumps etc there is zero wires or phs found in that tank!!!

 

[Akwarius]

Ok I see the link now. The tanks dimensions are 160cm x W: 100cm x H 40cm

its hard to pick a color without a total view of the area where the tank is going.
