Always assumed this was orange and navy blue until I started taking a much closer look, now I'm thinking it may have been orange and purple. What do you think?

Looks like purple to me but, as a former illustrator (now painter), I know how fickle colors in the printing industry can be. We're judging the color of a printed page produced 50 years ago. Printing inks for magazines weren't archival quality so there has surely been some color shift in the 50 years since this was printed. And that's assuming the color was photographed and printed accurately in the first place! So yes, this looks purplish to me but who knows what the actual garment looked like. . .

The color photo doesn't look as if it were colorized. The range of color, although not huge, appears more varied that a simple tint or two.mousemeat wrote:could be....or do you think the b/w photos were colorized ?Avengerholic wrote:Always assumed this was orange and navy blue until I started taking a much closer look, now I'm thinking it may have been orange and purple.

I always thought it navy too, but watching some scenes in the Positive Negative man, especially those on the table at the end it does quite clearly look purple.dissolute wrote:She wears it in several episodes and it always look navy (or maybe deep blue) to me.
