New Vividness of Colour for Coronation
The colour “code” issued recently by the British Colour Council for tho 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. Thero are “Stewart Blue,” “Garter Blue,” “Silver Grey,” “Signal Red,” and “Larkspur.” Tho 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 tho use of “Silver Grey,” a new aluminium-like colour which, at a distance, looks remarkably liko silver. They say it wiil give a better effect in groups of bunting—and, therefore, in dress colours. Brown, yellowish greeu, and black will probably be the most popular colours for day dress during tho coming soasoon, according to the London designer, Mr. Norman Hartnell.
