These colors are not exact meaning they can vary slightly depending on the screen that you are using, the lighting that's hitting the cushions, and the background that you're comparing the color to. Therefore, please take these photo comparisons with a grain of salt.  Cushions that have been on your boat will inherently have a different color due to sun exposure (ie: new cushions may be darker than originals based on age and exposure) 

Parchment with brown piping or Bright white are the OEM color from Boston Whaler.  Off white was created by Specialty Marine as a closer color match to the desert tan gel coat.  Off white will not match any repainted bright white/oyster white boats.  You can view color options in customer images from our Instagram page.  The most popular color in this year range is Boston Whaler's "bright white" which is slightly darker than other generic stark bright white cushions.

Wood has naturally occurring color variation due to grain, forest conditions, age of the wood, etc.  We do our best to match parts in sets however there will always be some variance.  Please keep in mind that wood ordered over time versus in a complete kit will be impossible for us to match since we have no reference of wood color from previous orders.  Wood colors range from blonde/gold to redish/brown.

All of our wood products (aside from "bare" teak) are treated with the bare minimum 5 coats of Captains ZSpar varnish and will require care and maintenance.  All wood has SPRAYED on varnish as we produce these in bulk so they are ready to ship when you order.  This rarely can at times cause drips in the varnish.  It will be up to the customer to repair (or leave as is) as the wood requires maintenance prior to use and will not be refunded or replaced. We have outlined that information for you here.
