Title: Orange roans. What colour collar suits?
Post by: Lily Freya on October 09, 2012, 03:34:14 PM
Hi.

I find it really easy to choose collar colours for my black cocker, and for my blue roan......however, I never feel I get it right with Ollie my orange roan.

I want to order BrownBee collars for Christmas.  Any ideas for colours to choose? Xx

Depends on if you want a collar to tone with Ollie's colouring ( Brown/Orange/Yellow)  - then maybe the BrownBee BigEars Ribbon in Brown or the Yellow/Orange Monkey ribbon  Or otherwise a Green or Blue as a contrast would be lovely, maybe the blue leaves

George has a bottle green one with orange and white bones on. He also has a bottle green equa fleece.
He is my little Robin Hood.  :D

I just can't find these collars anywhere.  Where did you get the bottle green with Bones?  I like that idea.

He is such an unusual colour that I never seem to think his collars suit him.

Luis, my black cocker, looks great in red.....Gracie too......but Ollie, needs his own special colour.

Maureen, Toby has this one from Pets at Home (it says small but it comes in 3 different sizes and he has the medium I think).  They also do a green or brown one with spots on which was lovely and would look great on an orange.

I'm the same with my orange roan boy. It's so easy to match my choccy boy but with Woody (my orange roan) I always buy a collar and then think, oh I'm not sure if that's the best colour match. However I've just bought him a bright line green and blue one when I was in the USA the other week and I think it looks fab on him! Before that he had navy with white polka dots which also matched quite well. Oooo the decisions hey? My OH is always like, it's a collar, does it really matter!! Clearly he doesn't understand!!  :005:

William has the Red Dingo circadelic brown, which is chocolate brown, milky coffee brown and pale blue and looks very elegant on him. http://www.collarsandtags.co.uk/circadelic-brown-dog-collar-medium-30-45cm-p-612.html. He also has the circadelic blue which is nice but bright. He gets more compliments about the brown one than the blue and I prefer it, even though brown is one of my least favourite colours.

Been on Brown Bees site.....and the deed is done.   So much choice, and far too much temptation for someone who has no willpower at all.  Three ordered.  :005: :005:

Thanks everyone for your input.  It helped a lot. X

My Skye is orange/gold and so is my saluki. My saluki usually wears green, it suits him really well. But strangely, it just doesn's seem to look as good on Skye. I absolutely love bright orange on Skye, eventhough I actually really dislike the colour orange. But it suits her so all her collars are orange or with orange.

Black looks nice on all colours too I think.

I shall be getting some new ones for my guys from here again: http://www.classy-critter.com (http://www.classy-critter.com)

And especially an orange one from the Halloween range: http://www.classy-critter.com/halloween.html (http://www.classy-critter.com/halloween.html)

Here she is with her orange Holly & Lil collar:
