Very wise - it's possible to colour them later, but rather difficult to
"uncolour" them. Most of us begin in "sheep colours" and add brighter things
bit by bit - the brighter they are the more checking they need. After nine
years, I've got quite a lot of bright colours and shiny bits - but its still
the old sheep-coloured ones that get most use. Let's face it - if we're
trying to portray a snapshot of the time we really should try and keep a
sense of proportion about numbers of rich people to numbers of poor. As Kim
says - the more experienced members of the society "dress down" more often
than they dress up. In our context "scabby peasants" have more fun!
