Colour Dictionary Mug

British Colour Standard - an historical 1930’s colour matching system dating back to the times when dyed strips of ribbon and wool were used to specify uniforms to flags and products such as post-boxes to battleships - across the then British Empire.

• FLORENTINE BLUE:
  A Florentine colour, frequently more vivid than the palette used in Venetian paintings.
  
  
• ALICE BLUE:

  Standardised in 1934, has been in general use since 1902. A pale tint of azure favoured by Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, which sparked a fashion sensation in the United States at the time. 

• OLD ROSE:
  This colour term arose during the Victorian era and had great popularity. One of the lighter tones of the ‘famille Rose’ found in Chinese porcelain, making its first appearance at the beginning of the 19^th Century and thereafter becoming a characteristic colour.
