Color StudySince this product will be an attachment to an existing vacuum, I researched color trends of

vacuums currently on the market.

Vacuums come in pretty much any color, but certain patterns appear overall. Each vacuum has one vivid color and one shade of neutral grey. The most common combinations on the market are

red/black and blue/medium grey.
