We bought 2 of these hammocks and we enjoy them a lot now that we've figured out how to get into them without spilling out (when they first arrive they are slippery). After a few months exposed to direct sun, the lime green-blue combo has faded to purple and a lighter shade of green (see photo, beneath pillow the original color can be seen). I'd recommend flipping them upside down when not in use or otherwise avoiding constant sun exposure, if you really want to keep the color from being affected. We're not bothered by it. Moisture beads up and runs off (great when it rains or a sprinkler hits them). Now that we've experienced having pillows attached to our hammocks, we'll never go back! The double size is very wide and comfortable; well-constructed and sturdy; shipped quickly; well packed; easy to put up.
