The colours used from 1600-1700 were rich, brilliant tones such as crimson, burgundy, russet, gold lace, scarlet, purple, sea-green, apple-green, blue, violet, red, deep blue, wine, green, orange, black, gold, light blues, greens, greys and rose.
I have gathered a collection of colour names here for everyone to use or just to enjoy even though not all are appropriate to the time setting of Age of the Throne. Also included are a few "generic" adjectives to describe the various shades, hues and tones.
