Informal "Gypsy colours of Spain" (that is, tricolor of the Spanish Romanies), as reported by Thomas Powys, 4th Baron Lilford in 1890; shades of red and yellow as per the Spanish tricolor, which Lilford indicated as a relevant standard. See David MacRitchie, "Notes and Queries. Gypsy Colours", in Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society, Vol. II, Issue 1, January 1890, p. 60 (Lilford quoted as an anonymous source), and "Reviews. The Tinkler-Gypsies by Andrew McCormick", in Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society (new series), Vol. I, Issue 3, January 1908, p. 282 (where Lilford is specifically mentioned). Subsequently used by the Gypsy Lore Society as symbolic for the entire Romani nation (see: Katy Hooper, Picturing Gypsies. An exhibition from the Gypsy Lore Society archive and Scott Macfie Gypsy collections mounted in the University Art Gallery, 4 September–6 October 2000 in association with The Role of the Romanies conference at the University of Liverpool, 17–20 September 2000, University of Liverpool Special Collections &amp; Archives, September 2000)
