Medieval Colour

Medieval Colour 

There is a false presumption that in medieval times were dark and dingy with wars lasting hundreds of years and other tragedies such as the Great Fire of London and the Black Plague. However, in medieval times clothing, buildings, food, celebrations were bursting with colours like red, orange, blue, green, and purple. There was a lot of variety in how things were portrayed which helped give more depth and create a more pleasing image for people to look at. Given all of the colourful things were usually expensive and were only used or owned by the richer upper classes of the time.
