Colours

[Grizelda]

I wondered why fashion presenters use the word 'colourway' instead of 'colour'. For example, a coat that is mainly pink but includes other colours should be called the pink colourway. If the coat is solid pink, it should be described as the pink colour. Most, if not all the presenters get it wrong!

If it was pink,they wouldn’t call it pink, it would be ‘cloudy sunlight’ or some such silly name, which bears no resemblance to the actual colour. Jackie and Nina have just shown a pair of boots called ‘dark mauve’ I don’t know why it says that, says Jackie, they’re not dark, and they’re not mauve!
