Hi all! We want to buy the Vango large canopy for our Orchy 600. We have the smoke/ocean colour. Have got my eye on a couple but one is black and the other light blue. Do you think either of these would be suitable or would the difference in colour look silly!

I camped near to someone last summer who had the older blue colourway on a vango tent ( marine/ whatever?) and they had the black one on it...it looked great.

I personally think the black would be better, but either would be better than none at all!

Thanks u400jb9, can't make my mind up whether ours is more blue in colour or green! Vango keep changing colour schemes, so probably struggle to find perfect match anyway!

I think the black looks funky with both the blue and green....we had the sage/laurel when we had a vango, with the matching canopy and it looked boring in comparison
