Opinions on venue chairs

Aloha Hawaii brides!

I need some honest feedback/opinions, please!

I am trying to decide if I can go without chair covers for my venue (on Oahu). I attached a YouTube video (not the best quality) that I took on a visit to the venue that shows the chairs without covers. The chairs are a dark pine green color, and as you will see in the video, it's a glass ballroom with lots of greenery/trees/mountains in the background.
Problem is, my colors are turquoise and red, and I'm wondering if the green chairs will detract from my color scheme. Do you think the chair covers are necessary for the room to look elegant, or do you think that it can be equally elegant without the chair covers?
For centerpieces I'm doing red manzanita branches with turquoise rocks, not flowers.
Here is the video:http://youtu.be/o7faWKoRppQ

Thanks for any input and suggestions you may have!

    Personally I am not a fan of chair covers. They move around no matter how many different styles there are that vendors say will stay in place, they don't. By the end of the wedding they usually look mishappen and akward. I think the darker green blends in so I won't worry about it too much.

    Could you rent different chairs?

    Thanks so much for the feedback! Although I could rent different chairs, as CeceG suggested, I'm trying to eliminate costs by avoiding doing anything differently with the chairs. I think I'll just decide to leave them be, and let the chair covers be a last minute addition, if at all.
    Mahalo!

    I definitely think the chairs look fine as they are.  They are pretty neutral and don't stand out in any particular way -- which is a really good thing.  I think of chair covers kind of as putting lipstick on a pig.  Wasn't great to begin with, but in trying to cover it up, you just end up drawing more attention than they would have attracted to begin with!  Great venue!
