In the British TV show Dragon's Den, which former Dragon was known for wearing bright shirts and investing in businesses such as Red Letter Days?

The story behind the answer

Richard Farleigh was the former Dragon known for bright shirts and for investing in businesses such as Red Letter Days on the British TV show Dragon's Den.

Farleigh joined the programme as a Dragon for its second series. An Australian-born investor and former child chess champion, he built his career in financial markets before becoming associated with venture investing and television.

His appearance on the panel was brief compared with Peter Jones or Deborah Meaden, but his style made him memorable. He was also involved in the investment connected with Levi Roots's Reggae Reggae Sauce pitch, one of the series' most widely remembered deals.

The clothing clue can cause confusion because several Dragons developed distinctive visual identities. The business clue is more precise: Farleigh was part of the investor group associated with Red Letter Days, a gift-experience company that also became linked to the programme's early investment history.
