With this Summary, the relationship of some colors with verses from the Bible will be discussed and briefly cited, for example:

The color white is a symbol of purity.
Revelation 1:14 describes Jesus using the color white for his hair: "The hair on his head was white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. "
In Ecclesiastes 9: 8 we read: "Let your clothes always be white. Do not let the oil lack your head. " It is clear that white was associated with purity.

Black is associated with darkness.
Lamentations 4: 8 including the black associated with mourning: "Now his face is blacker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets. " The black horse in Revelation 6: 5 represented the judgment.

Purple, related to royalty according to the meaning of the colors in the Bible. This becomes an important fact to record the day Jesus was crucified that they put a purple robe on him: "And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on his head and dressed him in a purple robe" (John 19). : two ).

Green has been associated with growth, an emphasis seen in the Bible. Psalm 52: 8 states: "But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.

Red was often associated with blood. The clearest biblical example is found in Revelation 6: 4: "And another horse came out, bright red. His rider was allowed to take peace from the earth, so that people would kill each other, and they gave him a great sword. "

Gold and silver were considered colors of influence and wealth, as gold and silver were often associated with riches, Jesus was also betrayed by thirty pieces of silver.
