New Coronation Colours
The colour "code" issued recently by the British Colour Council for the guidance of firms displaying bunting during coronation week next May is certain to inspire new vividness of colouring in women' s dresses. Colours in this "code" have delightful names. There are "Stewart Blue", "Garter Blue", "Silver Grey", "Signal Red", and "Larkspur." The council points out that white is generally used in heraldry to represent silver when the actual metal is not used. For this year's celebrations, however,' they recommend the use of "Silver Grey," a new aluminium-like colour which; at a djstance, looks remarkably like sxlver. They say jt will give a better effect in groups of bunting — and, therefore, in dress colours, Brown, yellowish green, and black will prooably be the most popular colours for day dress during the coming season, according. to the London desjgner, Mr Norman Hartnell.
