Great ODE, Seton. Thank you for doing this; the GM silks are my favorite H scarves.

Here are some archive pictures of mine:

I was struck by these GMs as worn on the mannequins the minute I laid eyes on them.

Wow, I never thought I'd like Lalbhai but am loving the first cw, the taupe/pink-purple. Do you have the cw names and/or reference number?

The first one is Mauve / Vert Amande / Jaune Soufre
Ref # 140100s 07

The background is vert amande, a very pale green.
This is my favorite spring scarf

Hmm green, not the best colour for me. It is pretty though. Would you say the cw is rather neutral?

Ex Libris dip dye.

I will try to give you as much info as I can remember.
I would say cool.
It is basically a white and grey scarf.
The leopard, monkeys, lemur?, gazelles are different shades of grey.
The purple/blue colors of the birds are also in the cool shades.
The only exception are the few touches of orange and yellow on some of the birds (parrots, birds on the trees...) but the colors are muted except for one or two birds.

Ms. P - Pierina has modeled this shawl on Scarf of the Day thread. It is lovely, but when I tried it on, seems like the greens did come out more on my medium asian skin toned complexion. It looks fabulous on Pierina though.Definitely worth a try if you find one. It is the most neutral of that SS design. HTH.
