Paul, Thanks for the comment on the pastel colors for the clothing. Since the figures are not wearing winter coats, I opted to set the season at Spring/Summer on my layout. The pastels are bright for the women, and the men's suits add a contrast. An occasional male figure will be put in a bright red, green, brown or blue. These figures are few, but the contrast of the intense color grabs the viewers attention.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
