pale gray, called Suede, is the shade
seen in undressed kid gloves, and castor
gray represents the castor gloves.
Among a host of blue black Napoleon

though they are still very delicate.
Among these is ecuDle, or foam green,
azure and Indienne blue, pale rose,
,gris peTLe, a tender lilac with pinkish
hue, and new faint gray almost as blue
