[h-cost] Regency era evening gloves

[humbugfoto1]

I am making a Regency evening gown for a friend. It consists of a black 
lace overdress with a slate blue lining. I'm uncertain as to what color 
gloves should be worn with this color ensemble/ I think white gloves 
against the black and slate blue would look garish, and black gloves 
would look too much like mourning wear, which it is not. What would they 
have worn in Regency times?

Thanks,
Julie
