These are the colours of the V.I.P coloured yarns for Fall/Autumn, 1962, taken from the American Fabrics magazine I have from the same period. "...The V.I.P coloured yards were in cotton, wool, wosted, man-made fibers and blends of all types. They highlighted business-stimulating colours and colour combinations for fashion-minded designers in the men's, women's and children's fields."

I love some of the names - Monaco Brown, Cannes Pink, Riviera Green...the names ooze an image, don't they? I don't know if you get that so much these days...
