Hello list -
I went to the Phryne Fisher web site and looked in the glossary -- here is
what the author says "Jazz Coloured" means:
Jazz coloured pink, black and silver, green, black and gold. Usually
in stripes.
source: http://www.phrynefisher.com/glossary.html
If you are interested in Phryne Fisher it may be worth your while to read
the rest of the glossary.

I am sure have heard of certain colours used in clothing such as zoot
suits
referred to in this way -- I cannot recall where/when -- colours such as
yellow, green and others not usually associated with menswear of the early
20th
century.
You could always hunt and email the author and ask.
Good idea, thanks!
As a side note, the Phryne Fisher Fan Club here in Melbourne used to take
tea
at the Windsor Hotel as described in the books. I wonder if they are still
around,
How neat - I hope so.
