There are mats\nfor inside, outside, inside and outside, different sizes, different shapes, and\ndifferent textures. And then there\u2019s color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So how do you best choose a color for your floor mat?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Pick something that goes with existing d\u00e9cor. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want something that will clash, so it\u2019s safe to pick something within the color families of what you\u2019re already using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Use color theory.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a whole science devoted to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Color_theory\">choosing colors<\/a>. You can\u2019t go wrong if you pick a color that is the same or that complements existing colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Avoid the exact color of the floor.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An entrance mat is going to have different (and probably better) traction than the rest of your floor. For that reason, you want pedestrians to <em>see<\/em> the mat. It\u2019s a good idea if the mat is not the exact color of the rest of the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Avoid very light colors.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is obvious, as very light colors will show the dirt much more quickly than an medium or dark-colored mat. So, very light mats will need to be washed more often than darker ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Try a bright color to make a statement.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/logo-floor-mats.html\">logo mat<\/a>, you might want to go with something bold to make a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Consider Feng Shui.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou are a follower of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housebeautiful.com\/room-decorating\/colors\/tips\/g3043\/feng-shui-guide-to-color\/\">Feng Shui<\/a>, then there are\nplenty of color guidelines. Red or black is symbolic of money and power and can\nmake a powerful statement at an entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most\nmats come with a big selection of color choices. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/waterhog-classic.html#colorpalette\">Waterhog Classic<\/a> mat, for example,\ncomes in 19 different colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t\nforget that you need more than one mat because when a mat gets dirty, it needs\nto be taken out of service to wash and dry while you substitute another mat.\nYou can always experiment with different colors to see what you like best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nthe Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and south Florida metropolitan areas,\nwe even offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaglemat.com\/services\/\">mat rental\nservices<\/a>\nthat could help you make up your mind about what you want for color\npermanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Do you have other questions?
