Fifty Shades Of Colour Tavistock Scout Group C.d 23 May

[May54]

All answers are a mixture of cryptic and anagrams. Any help with the following clues would be great! No letter count given. 19. Tree used for hedging, 21. Almost a bit dull and mediocre, 26. I go in the middle of Godlike escorted travel firm, 28. Could sound and look like a type of wig, 30. Confucius almost contains the answer for hanging baskets, 48. SOS fired into the sky. The answers are probably obvious but I'm now stuck! Thanks.

30 Fuchsia

[Buenchico]

48. Maroon

[May54]

Thanks Mamyalynne, I said it would be obvious!

[ubasses]

26 Titian

[BAKERS DOZEN]

26 Indigo?

[May54]

And again, thanks Buenchico, I just wasn't getting any of these answers.

[May54]

Thanks also ubasses and BAKERS DOZEN. I like Titian as the answer as it has I in the middle, but appreciate the other suggestion of indigo

[May54]

I'd never heard of Titian as a colour but, having looked it up, I do now! This is just what the AB is good at -thanks!

[ubasses]

21 vanilla

[May54]

Great, thanx again ubasses. Don't think I'd have got that one

[mallyh]

taupe....toupee

[mallyh]

19 privet green?

[ubasses]

Laurel green

[May54]

I had thought about taupe and toupee, mallyh, but wasn't convinced it was correct. They look similar but don't really sound similar. However taupe mite just have to be the answer, thanks. I hadn't thought of privet green but did wonder about laurel - didn't know if that was classed as a colour. Thanks everyone for your help!

[Toorak]

Laurel green is a colour

28 There is a Periwig, Periwinkle (Colour) maybe a stretch too far though?

[May54]

Thanks Toorak and Mamyalynne, I missed your comments last night as I'd gone to bed! Thanks for confirming the colour, Toorak, and your suggestion Mamyalynne is worth considering - might even be better than taupe. Once again, thanks everyone for your help!
