Daleth has a colour code which is described here. There is a difference between the heraldic colours and the codes below. The heraldic colours have an official deeper meaning, while the normal colour code is used by the people and is partly based on superstition. Bright green: the colour of the goddess Gräins Beige, brown: the colours of the goddess Gräins These are the colours of nature. They are seldom used in clothes or heraldry, they stand for modesty and quietness. They do symbolise fertility and stability as well. Red: the colour of the god Phyarx Yellow or gold: also colour of the god Phyarx These are the colours of warmth and fire, and all hues in between, such as orange, belong in this range. In heraldry, they stand for power and wealth. These are the colours of the Empire, and can be found in the flags and the coat of arms, and in the uniforms of the imperial army. White: the colour of the god Vindel Bright (light) blue: also the colour of the god Vindel These are the colours of the sky. Sometimes grey hues are added. In heraldry, these colours stand for royalty, pureness and honesty. Blue (dark): the colour of the god Aaser Green (dark): also the colour of the god Aaser. These are the colours of the water and the sea. All hues in between also belong to Aaser. The colours of the sea have meanings ranging from fertility to pureness, instability and calmness. All dark colours, especially black, mean maturity and wisdom. But in some cases dark colours are used for practical reasons (miners). Bright and light colours are for adolescents and the youth. Grey colours in all hues might indicate mourning. The colour purple has a bad name, especially in Ildritz. It is the colour of the brothels in the Kungsfelthan, the colour of illusions and pickpockets, the colour of everything a true gentleman stays away from. In some cases, the local colour code is different, when applied to the local coat of arms. This is also the case in the Naglani colour code, where each family has its own colour. The colour codes have a meaning in garments, coats of arms and flags. It does not apply to the colour of eyes and hair - it does not make sense because it can not be changed. Related topics: |
