Yes Sandra, Although most of us pour over everything they can read about any proposed new unit, especially other people's points of view, it is their first impression of seeing it "in the flesh" that will be thee most important influence on whether they buy it or not and for me, its colour scheme would have to be a huge part of that first impression.
Although I did not see my newest FC before we bought it, we did see some 20 odd photographs of it, taken inside and out and therefore knew in advance how much influence the colour of it had on the interior. Also having previously owned a brown and cream TT, we were already aware of how the interior would look with the sunlight coming through the brown canvas.
However, I would not have bought an FC in any other colour scheme without wanting to view it first.
My present caravan that we have been using for the last 3 years has blue upholstery with charcoal grey furniture and black & silver carpet and although we loved it first off, it is not as easy on the eyes as it was in the beginning. It is the very devil for showing up the dirt.
Just as we like different rooms in our houses to be decorated to reflect the mood we hope to achieve in that room, so we should expect the colour scheme of our camping unit to reflect the carefree and relaxed holiday mood that we would like to achieve during our trips. Black, dark grey and silver are suggestive of both clinical and industrial and both of these are the situations that stop me from enjoying more time camping.
