A fashion show put together by the buying house Felix Lilienthal & Co., highlights such colors as cognac, pumpkin, mustard and apricot.

Arthur Jablow's collection by David Kidd includes suits in browns from palest beige through butterscotch to ebony, while Jane Derby combines navy and green. Though...
