Of the color of the robe that commanded purple dye was extracted from snails... thousands were demanded yellow commanded the day thousands were pacified that way they worshipped the sun legions banded of the crimson red that dots foreheads royal colors swept nation steads bleached color was the hue of the Roman populace and white was a favorite synbolizing purity. Green would be the shade of astrigence sandalwood, the tone of incense.... blue would be nobler...subdued a shade associated with sweetness grey skies were connected with grief and black with impending doom for color..is there any room?
