Excerpt from book:
APPROPRIATION OF COLOUR.No. II. To the Editor of the Ecclesiologist. Sir,Before quitting the Byzantine period, I must just give two or three good examples which I have lately met with : Lansdowne 431. Psalter, Saecl. 11. This MS. is only introduced to show the love for blue and red. There are in one miniature five saints in those colours. Jonah's fishermen are alternated, blue and red. Jonah is blue, and his fish red. Angels are in blue and red.1 There is our Lord, (in a Dixit Dominus.) in blue and red, so like the Madonna, that any casual observer would have pronounced Him to be so.

Three times she is in green and red; four times in white head-dresses, green, and red ; once in red headdress, green, and red ; once green, red and white ; once in blue, purple, and green, her soul being in green. Our Lord occurs three times in red and green ; twice in green and red ; once in red, green, and blue ; once in red, purple', and blue ; once in red, green, and white ; once in green, red, and white; once in purple, brown, and red ; and once in bright blue and red. There are continual examples of Apostles arranged alternately, some of the hair being, for instance, of a bright blue colour. (11) Additional 17742. Missale Romanum, A.d. 1218. In this book, S. Mary is in red and white. S. John is in green and red. Our Lord in red and green (a priest ditto,) and also in green and red. (to) Royal 2, B 6. Psalter, Saecl. 13. All are in ...
