Re: Advice on Leather
Hi Stephanie (moved your post to the general LEATHER forum):
My advice is to not rely on the photos you see here on the forum for color accuracy. Most the ones I take are outdoors in bright sunlight, and I do not spend the time to color correct them in Photoshop (My Nikon D40 tends to overexpose a little bit), nor do you have a color corrected monitor to view them on. Mostly I take the shots to show the form of the piece at a different angle than the ones on the maker's website. Better to use the actual samples themselves for color accuracy, but even they will vary from batch to batch of leather.
My tastes would say definitely do the sofa in one color, and the chairs in a contrasting one. Its difficult to say what color would work for you, because I don't have your room photos to look at the overall look of things. However just based on Antelope Harness alone for the sofa, perhaps the chairs in Antelope Saddle? A 'decorator' tie-in you can do at no extra charge is to have the welt trims on each piece done in the contrast color if you like. That would mean the sofa in Harness could have welt trim in Saddle and vice versa on the chairs.
