So the suggestions re: colours of new Florentine 1550's dress so far has been:
Brown with golden embroidery
(like this:

Mustard/brown
(think:

Green
(what kind of green?)
Saturated blue
(I think it'll be too close to the Peacock dress... Which I ought to finish...)
I want to save the option of black for a Roman styled dress, but what about dark or silver grey? I really need some ideas or suggestions, so any feedback on this is welcome!
