Description

We have implemented subleading colour corrections for the dipole parton shower in the event generator Herwig. This has been used to investigate the effects of keeping the full colour structure for parton emissions in both a LEP and an LHC setup. Preliminary results show that, while these corrections typically are small for LEP-observables, they can be several ten percent at the LHC, even for standard QCD observables.
