If you call Axiom they will send you sample cookies of the 4 standard speaker colours (probably the binding post of tweeter cut-outs) for the speakers). When I got mine, i took the 2 I liked and went to an audio shop and found speakers near the same colour to get a real good idea of what they'd look like. It worked for me. I was leaning towards Manfield beach but once I saw the colour of a full size speaker it looked lighter than I would have thought from just the sample cookie. Given the darkish oak colours in the house I went with popular Boston cherry (my wifes preference). I guess I should have listened to her in the first place.

Happy shopping - Paul
