COLOUR COMPLEXES
THE NEWEST SHADES Have you got an eye for colour? I mean do you keep up with ail the new colours? Time was when we had a certain number of them, and that was all; but nowadays there are so many that it Is really very hard to keep up with them—and it is so very important, you know. Wrote our London correspondent the other day: “The luxury touch is becoming more and more evident as the presentation of London’s dress shows continues. . . Black, prune-juice, crushed-grapes and all the darker tones of raisin-brown and purple (as well as the new colour, celadon-green) are prominent.” It isn’t that there are any new colours—not really—but there are so many delicate shades that one has to learn the particular name of each one of them. To confess ignorance in this is to confess that you haven’t got the luxury touch. Celadon-green, remember, “has a greyish tinge, creating an illusion of silver”—and that is luxury indeed! It is the favourite colour of the Duchess of York.
