Because of their ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, parasols are available in an assortment of colours, with black absorbing up to 90% of the sun’s light. While black is rarely chosen for garden décor for its connection to nature, a parasol in this colour absorbs the most UV light.
Colours can dramatically improve and enhance an outdoor setting, making it appear bigger or livelier.
Colours influence our mood in a significant way. By using bright colours such as orange, red, or yellow parasols, we can energise a space, while a green, navy or light blue parasol in a lighter tone will produce a calming, comforting experience.
Furthermore, the brighter and lighter the colour, the more cheerful and optimistic you will feel.
