EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from The Illustrated London News, Princess Margaret, the fashionable and elegant young princess, is seen proudly displaying the five special colors she had sponsored for the Coronation Year of 1953. As the patron of the British Colour Council, Princess Margaret played a significant role in the selection of these stunning shades that would set the trend for the year. The photograph is framed by the five colors, each one named after a regal hue: Margeurite Green, Spun Gold, Princess Grey, Beau Blue, and Elizabethan Red. The vibrant Margeurite Green, reminiscent of the lush foliage of the gardens, is a rich and deep emerald green. Spun Gold, a radiant and warm yellow, evokes the essence of royalty and opulence. Princess Grey, a classic and timeless shade of grey, adds an understated elegance to the palette. Beau Blue, a captivating and tranquil shade of blue, brings a sense of calm and serenity. Lastly, Elizabethan Red, a bold and regal shade of red, adds a touch of drama and passion to the selection. The Princess's sponsorship of these colors not only reflected her keen sense of fashion and style but also her commitment to the British Colour Council and her role as a patron. This photograph is a testament to the enduring influence of the British monarchy on fashion and design in the 1950s.
