Shades used in 20\'s day dresses

I having trouble working out the shades for day dresses in the 20's as all the photos are B/W including my own source books and online photo archive.
If any one can point me in the right direction of a collection with colour photos of real dressses I would be very grateful.
Thanks Paul

You can see some up on my website but I must mention, the colour palette is rather limited. I've seen a lot of '20s frocks and generally find the colours to be subdued, and for evening, black is most common. I have some that are other shades though: coral and deep blue, but they're the exception. Try ebay for a fairly good selection in colour, although keep in mind that some of these are repros, not originals.

Thank you so much Nicole what a great collection, I going to have a 20's hat made, I have the feeing the milliner has not just the correct concept of shade worn the 20's so I need to make a colour swatch for her.
based on the right shades.
