SOTHEBY'S - Silks Sale.
Plain silver silks sell at Sotheby's for record-breaking £120,000
Tue, 27 October 2015
A plain set of silver silks which went under the hammer at Sotheby’s in London on Monday easily surpassed the British record for such an item as they were knocked down for a whopping £120,000.
Estimated to sell for around £25,000-£35,000 the rare set of plain colours generated a lot of interest and eclipsed the previous record of £60,000 held by a plain lime green set.
The Graham Budd Sporting Memorabilia auction saw 13 sets of silks released by the British Horseracing Authority for sale
SILVER - (Can you provide previous ownership?)
Also SOLD...
Somewhat surprisingly -
APRICOT - Formerly owned by Lord Howard de Walden - Kris, et al
DARK GREEN - Fahd Salman - Derby winner Generous
again - somewhat surprisingly -
PALE BLUE, Yellow and White Check Cap - Ballymacoll Stud -
Stud formerly owned by Dorothy Paget - Sir Michael Sobell - Weinstock family ... Horses trained by Major Hern, and Michael Stoute.

I am still trying to determine what colour 'Also' actually is - Deltâ 
I meant the likes of Lord Howard ' etc .. as you say surprisingly released ..
No - Deltâ - I have tried to bring the Sale up on the Results on the Sotheby's site - it was Monday October 26th 2015 - but without success.
Perhaps when more time I will try again, or elsewhere - or blackbarn will crack it - he being mustard at that sort of thing.

blackbarn has previous listed 'all silver' as being registered to Paul Green, though I can't recall seeing them, assuming that's the same Paul Green as has the blue diamond colours.
Onlooker I did reply to this but for some reason my response is with the moderator. Hope this gets through!!
