Popular Blue
According to the British Colour Council, blues will predominate in the coming season. One of the most fascinating is blueberry blue, which has "the soft bloom of the Scotch berries." The council is nothing if not poetic, and it describes "Grampian blue" as having "the elusive quality of the distant nills." Scotland seems to have provided many of the new colours. Tnere are Border greens, "typical colours of dale and glen," for instance. Cheviot and Cumbrian greens are blended with gold and sporting tan in tweeds and wool.
As regards accessories, gold, tan and warm beechnut are the favoured colours.
