Am I being oldfashioned? Are these the new modern colors? I'm not even going to mention the price...

No, I agree that the colors are so 60's, and while I was a young (I specify young) woman I wore some of those colors (wish someone had warned me about how I looked in that orange raincoat - I shudder to think about it now), but I've had enough olive green to last me a lifetime. I've seen the price, would never pay it. The pattern isn't bad, but the colors - the designer definitely missed the boat on those.

Personally I think the white is too stark and the blue too pale with that dark olive green. I would replace the white with maybe a white on cream and the blue with darker purples. Once you replace those two then the dark green will lay back like it's supposed to.
