Looking for opinions again, please! The outdoor M3 speakers will be available in four finishes. At this point, we are thinking of having them in Black, White, Cape Cod Grey, and Off White. Does that sound like the best collection, or are there other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I'd call the off-white one something fancier than off-white.
I'm not a color guru , but someone will have some ideas.
good luck with the new products.

Many newer houses, at least in Iowa, have a light tan, cream, or taupe siding, so this might be a consideration if people want something to match their exterior siding.

Amie,
would Axiom consider any wood looking finishes? These may match certain backyard decks. I can think of my uncle who's deck is a mahogany type stain. A similar pair of M3's would probably look nice.

I think narrowing it down, to the most common neutral vinyl siding, and deck colors.....is a good start.
Maybe a brown, or faux wood, instead of gray, too.

Do you really need Black for outdoor speakers ? I would replace black with some kind of brown/taupe already being discussed. I tried a couple of "wood-like" brown colours for the outside of my house and ended up painting over them all in dark green. Just a thought

Yep, the same here in SW Ontario - taupe is huge right now.

Make them look like hornet nests  apparently that stops the real ones from setting up camp as they are very territorial. Any chance you could offer a paintable set? I also vote for dumping black.

Maybe a paintable finish as a standard!
Ford beat me to it! But that was my first thought.
