Bought online greenhouse - not as described but started to erect

How do you know the other images of grey greenhouse will be a true likeness.

They may be the same colour.

It might be possible to stain it to a slightly darker shade but in all honesty, once it's properly erected and being used, I doubt you'll notice it being an issue.

yeah - you’re right. I wasn’t aware of the colour difference at the time. I’m just the handyman

Which is the white knight?

Hint: both knights, and the squares they are on, are exactly the same shade of grey (RGB = 107, 107, 107)

Those two colours look pretty similar, but it made me realise that the actual grey greenhouse frame does not look that different from the actual grey slabs that the OP has in the garden.

Here is a snip from the OP's photo showing the greenhouse frame against a dry section of the base slabs:

Given the difference in material and texture, the actual colour seems really rather similar to me.

Here is a second snip from the same photo showing the greenhouse frame against a wet section of the base slabs:

The wet slabs are darker than the dry slabs but the frame colour in unchanged. Again, because of the different surface finish and porosity of the two materials plus variance in angles allowing water to lay on one and not the other.

If the OP dries everything off, what is the colour match like then?

Considering it’s difficult to see much difference, if any considering lighting differences, and the fact you have built it - you have zero chance of returning it.

If they took it back, they would need to bin it.

and I bet you were happy with the colour when you started erecting it 😀

I agree with many others, colour differences over different monitors, lighting etc are subjective

Which website was this OP?
