Key takeaways
- Most of the Monaco range is available in two colours: Pearl and Slate Grey. The price is the same in either colour.
- Pearl is light and airy; it suits whitewashed walls, pale stone and smaller terraces you want to feel more open.
- Slate Grey is darker and more contemporary; it suits modern architecture, dark tiles and black window frames.
- Look at your walls, your flooring and your light before you choose, and if possible, see both colours in person.
- Sofa sets, dining sets and sun lounger sets all come in both colours, so you can keep one colour across your whole terrace.
Choose Pearl if you want your Monaco furniture to feel light, bright and Mediterranean, and Slate Grey if you want a sharper, more contemporary look. Both colours cost the same, and most of the Monaco range comes in both, from sofa sets and dining sets to sun lounger sets. The right choice depends less on the furniture and more on your home: your walls, your floor, your light and how you live outdoors.
This guide helps you decide. Browse both colours on the Monaco collection page.

When should you choose Pearl?
Pearl is the natural choice for a classic Mediterranean home. It works especially well if:
- Your walls are white or cream. Pearl blends in rather than standing out, giving a calm, seamless look.
- Your flooring is pale stone, travertine or light terracotta. Light furniture on light floors makes a space feel bigger.
- Your terrace is small. Lighter furniture takes up less visual space on balconies and compact patios.
- You love a coastal look. Pearl pairs beautifully with natural textures, sandy tones and green planting.
When should you choose Slate Grey?
Slate Grey gives a sharper, more architectural feel. It is often the better choice if:
- Your home is modern. Clean lines, render, glass and black or anthracite window frames suit a darker tone.
- Your flooring is grey or dark. Slate Grey sits comfortably on porcelain tiles, dark stone and composite decking.
- You want contrast. On a white terrace, Slate Grey furniture becomes a deliberate feature.
- You prefer a lower-key look day to day. Darker finishes can show everyday dust and marks less obviously than lighter ones.
What else should you consider?
The light on your terrace
Spanish sunlight is bright, and colour looks different outdoors than in a photo. A south-facing terrace in full sun will make Pearl look brighter and Slate Grey look slightly lighter than it does in shade. If you can, see both colours in daylight before deciding.
Your accessories
Think about the parasol, planters and rug you will use with the set. Our parasols come in Natural or Black: Natural pairs well with Pearl, and Black pairs well with Slate Grey.
Matching across your terrace
Because sofa sets, dining sets and sun lounger sets all come in both colours, you can keep the same colour across your lounge, dining and pool areas for a coordinated look. Some people deliberately mix, for example Slate Grey dining with Pearl loungers by the pool, which also works if the colours repeat elsewhere in the space.
What is the same in both colours?
- Price: identical in Pearl or Slate Grey.
- Frame: powder-coated aluminium.
- Sofa sets: thick arms wrapped in 2x1 textilene, deep cushions with spun polyester covers, and an included weather cover.
- Tables: the 1.1m dining sets and the coffee tables on the sofa sets have sintered stone tops, which are highly resistant to stains, scratches, heat and UV.
How do you decide in four questions?
- Are my walls white or cream? Lean Pearl.
- Is my home modern with dark frames or grey floors? Lean Slate Grey.
- Is my terrace small? Pearl will make it feel larger.
- Still unsure? See both in one of our showrooms.

Frequently asked questions

Which colour is better for a small terrace?
Pearl, because lighter furniture makes a small space feel more open.
Do Monaco sun loungers come in both colours?
Yes. The Monaco Sunlounger Set and Monaco Luxury Sunlounger Set both come in Pearl and Slate Grey.
Can I mix Pearl and Slate Grey?
Yes. Mixing works well if each colour appears more than once across the space.
