My head hurts looking at pots a deciding on color or colors for a few Azaleas. One type is a pink and white bloom and the type is orange. Both have deep green foliage. Any suggestions appreciated.

Light yellow or cream always looks good.

I've always thought certain shades of green look good with pink and white flowered trees, as I think it really sets off the flowers. I wish the picture was lighter, but you get the idea.

I've read of people using a color wheel to assist in picking pots for flowering trees...I believe the color of the pot and the flowers should mirror each other on the wheel

Thank you both. The whole color thing usually gets argued a bit but honest I am just now playing with flowering and fruiting so it had me stuck.
