We have very little color information on English sailor suits. Virtually all the images we have or black and white. And we have very little information from English catalogs which ofen had color information. Of course blue and white would be the predominant colors. We note blue and white in America as well, although we note many more colors in America a well. We do not know how commonn these non traditional colors were in England. We suspect they were not as common, but we can't confirm tht. We have found some illustrations, but we are not sure how reliable the color depictiions are. Here are greeting card illustrations of sailor suits (figure 1). One shows blue coloured suits. The other shows white coloured suits. They are unidentified, but look to be British. There is no written details on the card. Other than the picture they are blank. We believe they are based on early 20th century illustrtions. We do not know the original source or how accurate the dipictins are.
