Thanks for all the advice guys, I really appreciate it. When compiled, the list is (which I'll state my comments on):
NAVY BLUE Nice colour, but I already have good Merino Wool Navy hose from here.
SUNFLOWER A nice suggestion, and as close to Mustard as this range goes, would anyone thing that Sunflower with a brick or Autumn Glow turnover would be a good look? It may be a bit bright on it's own.
CITRUS I think a little bright, unless I had bold garter ties, and from a reasonable distance may look like I have no hose at all!
BRICK This was my favourite right from the start, until Scott pitched in with Autumn Glow .... I have Burgundy hose (from the above link) which I love, but trying to decide on one of the two reds is now proving difficult. I think I'll get the brick ones first, then the Autumn Glow in a few months.
BLACK I was originally interested in black, but recently I'm thinking a dark brown/ dark grey is a better option.
AUTUMN GLOW See BRICK above, a lovely colour, but if I'm getting one red first up, I think it will be brick.
MINK I think Mink is a bit too subdued for the tartan I'll be wearing, and as someone who never wears colour below my waist in Saxon dress, I'm of the "Sing loud, sing proud!" persuasion when kilted, so bold (or at least strong) colours are what interest me, unless there is a strong contrast.
FOREST A classic colour, and a definite on my list.
BARK/ CORK BROWN I'm putting these two together because they are very similar, and with a toss of the coin I'd be happy with either. Although in this particular tone, I'm surprised no one suggested SLATE, which I also liked.
BRACKEN I LOVE this one! I think I will get one pair plain and one with a turnover in any of the three preceding colours.
Speaking of which, would the Rabble like the look of these hose, but with a different coloured turnover? Not diced or patterned in any way (other than the current pattern in the hose themselves), essentially a "self-coloured" turnover. I was thinking this would look good with several of the above colours in combination, and would be quite easy to acheive.
As always, the Rabble has come through with great advice, and I thank you all for your time and thought!
Cheers,
Cameron

I think that would look great with the right combination. Looking forward to the photos when you get the hose.

Well, at $30 per pair, I think there'll be quite a few photos forthcoming! But if anyone would like to nominate colour combinations, I'm more than happy to hear your suggestions!
Cheers,
