 Colors Symbolism in Ancient Egypt

In ancient Egypt, colors were meaningful. There were six colors the Ancient Egyptians used in their paintings red, green, blue, yellow, black, and white.

The color green was symbolic of new life, growth, vegetation, and fertility. Depictions of Osiris often show him with green skin. The Egyptians were part of a long line of cultures that treasured and worshipped evergreens. When the winter solstice arrive, they brought green date palm leaves into their homes to symbolize life's triumph over death.

Red was the color of power it symbolized life and victory, as well as anger and fire. Red was associated with the Goddess Isis and her blood, which red could also represent.

The color blue was the color of the heavens and the water and it symbolized creation and rebirth. The God Amun, who played a part in the creation of the world, is depicted with a blue face.

Anything yellow symbolized the eternal and indestructible, the qualities of the sun and gold. It was the color of Ra and of all the pharaohs, which is why the sarcophagi and funeral masks were made of gold to symbolize the eternalness of the pharaoh.

The color of death was black. Black also represented the underworld and the night. Both the gods Annubis and Osiris were depicted in black as the gods of the embalming and the afterlife respectively.

Lastly white was the color of purity, it symbolized all things sacred and simple. Normally used in religious objects and tools used by the priests.
