I used to have a seriously well-cut red serge suit back in the Mod days. It was cut along the lines of the Beatles 'A Hard Day's Night' suits, complete with the black collar. Do you know how that black collar came to be ... originally, I mean? It was during the French Revolution, a statement of disagreement with the policy of beheading via the Guillotine. You're right: colour ... & tone ... is right on. I like orange, but it makes me look like a croaked olive.

Where it's missed most, though, is in the automotive industry. Honestly, would the Dukes of Hazzard been what it was in a beige--and-brown Chevelle? Exactly. Add to the Ignored Colours list Mint Green and Hot Pink ... no pimp can be complete without either (not to mention the purple crushed velvet suit). You can really work a good Fushcia, too, in both fashion and decor. Appreciate the props to orange. Where it’s missed most, though, is in the automotive industry.
