We do not at this time know much about the use of color in German children's clothing. Our information at this times comes largely from colorized photographs. We have found some colorized photographs which provide some information. We are unsure as to the accuracy of the color depictions. One would think that paretas would want some reationship between the colors of the children's outfits and the colors depicted in the colorized portraits. And we nte some portraits with clor instructions. Some of the best examples we have noted of early tinted photographs are German. We note German costumes, presumably children in a family. Of course the widest use of color in fashion can be used for costumes. One of the most popular German style for children were sailor outfits. Of course blue and white were the most popular ailor suit colors. An example is a German brother and sister (about 1885). There were of course other colors.
