After looking through my research i have created a colour palette for my collection. I want to use 'pale nudes' (white, cream, pale beige & light gold) as the main colour scheme for the collection. I also want to use gold for embellishment (beads, embroidery, print) and several colours as my accent colours. The accent colours are the colour palette below. These colours will compliment my main base colour and be based on the theme of flowers. I have a sketch of my ideas which explain the colour ideas in more detail.

Below is a page from the 'Goddess - the classical mode' book. It shows greek/roman dress robes and the flats for them. This page will give me the 'base' for my design ideas based on greek/roman dress.

Sketch below, the main dress is of a 'nude' tone, the embellished scoop neck is of an accent tone.
