The Green Muskoka chair
A deep forest green that settles into planting, hedging and tree cover.
Green is the colour for a chair that lives among trees. It is a deep, slightly blue-toned forest green — the colour of a spruce in shade — and against a lawn or a hedge it settles in as if it grew there. It is the traditional colour of park and garden furniture, done properly.
It pairs naturally with Cedar for a woodland set and with Sand for a softer garden one; a Yellow ottoman with a Green chair is the classic country-house pairing. It looks especially good against grey stone and against white render.
Being dark it warms in full sun, though in the tree shade it is designed for that never comes up.
Who picks Green
Gardens. Wooded lots. Cottages in the trees rather than on the water. Parks, clubs and anyone furnishing a lot of chairs that should not draw attention.
Pairs with
Cedar, Sand, Yellow — same material, same price, built in the same run so the shades match.

Questions
Is Green a bright green?
No — a deep forest green, closer to spruce than to grass. It recedes into planting rather than standing out from it.
