The two most common colors for rollators are blue and red. Both of these colors sell well, but it seems that blue is a little more popular. Red by nature is a color that sticks out more and many people prefer a more neutral color. Also, many men consider the color red to be more feminine.
This past week I had a customer specifically request a red rollator. The reason she gave was quite unique to her situation. She intended on using the rollator outdoors to manage what she termed her "jungle". The customer reasoned that a red rollator would stick out more among the overgrown shrubbery and she would be able to spot it more quickly when ready to move on.
Now that's what I call an active user! She was happy that the rollator came with a basket for storing her clippers. I recommended that she consider a rollator with 8" wheels as the terrain was bound to be quite rough. She decided to stay with a 6" model.
I can only make recommendations. Ultimately, a customer knows their situation best and has to make the final decision. Our job is to assist the customer in making their independent choice. Not more, not less.
