A four-part heritage scheme survives by giving each hue a distinct job: chalk holds the light end, tan carries the mid, and crimson and turf green sit at near-identical value so they read as a matched pair rather than competing accents. It's drawn from the York Ebor Festival running Aug 19–22 — racing silks against turf and rail is one of the few places these four colours have coexisted for two centuries without looking styled.
