Mumsnet Books - can we get your opinion on colours please?

Hello all,
As you probably know we've got a series of Mumsnet books coming out from next spring based on your collective wisdom. It's fair to say that there is a certain amount of disagreement amongst those involved as to which cover colours look best.

So we thought we'd ask you which you'd prefer, given that Mumsnetters are squarely in the target audience and all that. (We've promised not to tell you what we at HQ like by the way but suffice to say we're very much keener on one of sets than the other so you better get it right )

Basically there are 2 options for each of the four book covers - a more subtle and muted version, and a more vibrant and bolder version. You can see them here.

We'd be very grateful if you would let us know on this thread which of the options - subtle or bold - you'd prefer on your coffee table/ would be more likely to fork out for. If there's no clear consensus then we'll have a poll. Oh the excitement.

Many thanks,
MNHQ

Oh good, there's no pink!

I like the muted colours, personally. Classier.

Subtle colours look great

thumbwitch · 19/06/2008 12:02

i also think subtle - looks more professional, not boring. vibrant can look a bit chick-lit so depends on what look you're after, i guess

WelliesAndPyjamas · 19/06/2008 12:03

subtle and muted
I also really like the sage

JustineMumsnet · 19/06/2008 12:03

BellaBear · 19/06/2008 12:05

Most of them, the subtle shades, and definitely the subtle if you put them all together on a shelf. Quite like the bright turquoise though.
