Glad you brought this up, because I left the session a trifle mystified about how this color thing actually works.
The dyers and clothiers are in on the secret, but can't divulge the color until it's officially rolled out, right? Now, when is that again?
Is there nothing to stop a customer from walking into a clothiers and saying, "I want a floppy pin-cushion-type hat in indigo" (or whatever we're calling this year's hue), and fair's fair as long as the clothier didn't spill the beans? Or is all the dyed fabric in lockdown until the rollout, and major bribes and plausible deniability will be called for, just to get a garment created without the clothier being cast into the gibbets?
Do we (or Filen) know the answers to these questions, or are we flying blind here, and need to find out?
