   Color \Col"or\, n. [Written also {colour}.] [OF. color, colur,
      colour, F. couleur, L. color; prob. akin to celare to conceal
      (the color taken as that which covers). See {Helmet}.]
      1. A property depending on the relations of light to the eye,
            by which individual and specific differences in the hues
            and tints of objects are apprehended in vision; as, gay
            colors; sad colors, etc.
  
      Note: The sensation of color depends upon a peculiar function
               of the retina or optic nerve, in consequence of which
               rays of light produce different effects according to
               the length of their waves or undulations, waves of a
               certain length producing the sensation of red, shorter
               waves green, and those still shorter blue, etc. White,
               or ordinary, light consists of waves of various lengths
               so blended as to produce no effect of color, and the
               color of objects depends upon their power to absorb or
               reflect a greater or less proportion of the rays which
               fall upon them.
  
      2. Any hue distinguished from white or black.

            oil colors or water colors.
  
      5. That which covers or hides the real character of anything;
            semblance; excuse; disguise; appearance.
  
                     They had let down the boat into the sea, under color
                     as though they would have cast anchors out of the

                                                                              30.

      6. Shade or variety of character; kind; species.

      7. A distinguishing badge, as a flag or similar symbol

      8. (Law) An apparent right; as where the defendant in
            trespass gave to the plaintiff an appearance of title, by
            stating his title specially, thus removing the cause from
            the jury to the court. --Blackstone.
  
      Note: Color is express when it is averred in the pleading,
               and implied when it is implied in the pleading.
  
      {Body color}. See under {Body}.
  
      {Color blindness}, total or partial inability to distinguish
            or recognize colors. See {Daltonism}.
  
      {Complementary color}, one of two colors so related to each
            other that when blended together they produce white light;
            -- so called because each color makes up to the other what
            it lacks to make it white. Artificial or pigment colors,
            when mixed, produce effects differing from those of the
            primary colors, in consequence of partial absorption.
  
      {Of color} (as persons, races, etc.), not of the white race;
            -- commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro
            blood, pure or mixed.
  
      {Primary colors}, those developed from the solar beam by the
            prism, viz., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and
            violet, which are reduced by some authors to three, --
            red, green, and violet-blue. These three are sometimes
            called {fundamental colors}.
  
      {Subjective} [or] {Accidental color}, a false or spurious
            color seen in some instances, owing to the persistence of
            the luminous impression upon the retina, and a gradual

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Color \Col"or\, n. [Written also {colour}.] [OF. color, colur,
      colour, F. couleur, L. color; prob. akin to celare to conceal
      (the color taken as that which covers). See {Helmet}.]
      1. A property depending on the relations of light to the eye,
            by which individual and specific differences in the hues
            and tints of objects are apprehended in vision; as, gay
            colors; sad colors, etc.
  
      Note: The sensation of color depends upon a peculiar function
               of the retina or optic nerve, in consequence of which
               rays of light produce different effects according to
               the length of their waves or undulations, waves of a
               certain length producing the sensation of red, shorter
               waves green, and those still shorter blue, etc. White,
               or ordinary, light consists of waves of various lengths
               so blended as to produce no effect of color, and the
               color of objects depends upon their power to absorb or
               reflect a greater or less proportion of the rays which
               fall upon them.
  
      2. Any hue distinguished from white or black.
  
      3. The hue or color characteristic of good health and
            spirits; ruddy complexion.
  
                     Give color to my pale cheek.               --Shak.
  
      4. That which is used to give color; a paint; a pigment; as,
            oil colors or water colors.
  
      5. That which covers or hides the real character of anything;
            semblance; excuse; disguise; appearance.

      7. A distinguishing badge, as a flag or similar symbol
            (usually in the plural); as, the colors or color of a ship
            or regiment; the colors of a race horse (that is, of the
            cap and jacket worn by the jockey).

      8. (Law) An apparent right; as where the defendant in

      {Complementary color}, one of two colors so related to each
            other that when blended together they produce white light;
            -- so called because each color makes up to the other what
            it lacks to make it white. Artificial or pigment colors,
            when mixed, produce effects differing from those of the

      {Of color} (as persons, races, etc.), not of the white race;

      most closely to the electronic signals needed to drive a
      {CRT}.   Several equivalent systems ("{colour models}") exist,
      e.g. {HSB}.   A colour {image} may be stored as three separate
      images, one for each of red, green, and blue, or each {pixel}
      may encode the colour using separate {bit-fields} for each
      colour component, or each pixel may store a logical colour
      number which is looked up in a hardware {colour palette} to
      find the colour to display.
  
      Printers may use the {CMYK} or {Pantone} representations of
      colours as well as RGB.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cellar
      a subterranean vault (1 Chr. 27:28), a storehouse. The word is
      also used to denote the treasury of the temple (1 Kings 7:51)
      and of the king (14:26). The Hebrew word is rendered "garner" in
      Joel 1:17, and "armoury" in Jer. 50:25.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Collar
      (Heb. peh), means in Job 30:18 the mouth or opening of the
      garment that closes round the neck in the same way as a tunic
      (Ex. 39:23). The "collars" (Heb. netiphoth) among the spoils of
      the Midianites (Judg. 8:26; R.V., "pendants") were ear-drops.
      The same Hebrew word is rendered "chains" in Isa. 3:19.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Colour
      The subject of colours holds an important place in the
      Scriptures.
     
         White occurs as the translation of various Hebrew words. It is
      applied to milk (Gen. 49:12), manna (Ex. 16:31), snow (Isa.
      1:18), horses (Zech. 1:8), raiment (Eccl. 9:8). Another Hebrew
      word so rendered is applied to marble (Esther 1:6), and a
      cognate word to the lily (Cant. 2:16). A different term, meaning
      "dazzling," is applied to the countenance (Cant. 5:10).
     
         This colour was an emblem of purity and innocence (Mark 16:5;
      John 20:12; Rev. 19:8, 14), of joy (Eccl. 9:8), and also of
      victory (Zech. 6:3; Rev. 6:2). The hangings of the tabernacle
      court (Ex. 27:9; 38:9), the coats, mitres, bonnets, and breeches
      of the priests (Ex. 39:27,28), and the dress of the high priest
      on the day of Atonement (Lev. 16:4,32), were white.
     
         Black, applied to the hair (Lev. 13:31; Cant. 5:11), the
      complexion (Cant. 1:5), and to horses (Zech. 6:2,6). The word
      rendered "brown" in Gen. 30:32 (R.V., "black") means properly
      "scorched", i.e., the colour produced by the influence of the
      sun's rays. "Black" in Job 30:30 means dirty, blackened by
      sorrow and disease. The word is applied to a mourner's robes
      (Jer. 8:21; 14:2), to a clouded sky (1 Kings 18:45), to night
      (Micah 3:6; Jer. 4:28), and to a brook rendered turbid by melted
      snow (Job 6:16). It is used as symbolical of evil in Zech. 6:2,
      6 and Rev. 6:5. It was the emblem of mourning, affliction,
      calamity (Jer. 14:2; Lam. 4:8; 5:10).
     
         Red, applied to blood (2 Kings 3;22), a heifer (Num. 19:2),
      pottage of lentils (Gen. 25:30), a horse (Zech. 1:8), wine
      (Prov. 23:31), the complexion (Gen. 25:25; Cant. 5:10). This
      colour is symbolical of bloodshed (Zech. 6:2; Rev. 6:4; 12:3).
     
         Purple, a colour obtained from the secretion of a species of
      shell-fish (the Murex trunculus) which was found in the
      Mediterranean, and particularly on the coasts of Phoenicia and
      Asia Minor. The colouring matter in each separate shell-fish
      amounted to only a single drop, and hence the great value of
      this dye. Robes of this colour were worn by kings (Judg. 8:26)
      and high officers (Esther 8:15). They were also worn by the
      wealthy and luxurious (Jer. 10:9; Ezek. 27:7; Luke 16:19; Rev.
      17:4). With this colour was associated the idea of royalty and
      majesty (Judg. 8:26; Cant. 3:10; 7:5; Dan. 5:7, 16,29).
     
         Blue. This colour was also procured from a species of
      shell-fish, the chelzon of the Hebrews, and the Helix ianthina
      of modern naturalists. The tint was emblematic of the sky, the
      deep dark hue of the Eastern sky. This colour was used in the
      same way as purple. The ribbon and fringe of the Hebrew dress
      were of this colour (Num. 15:38). The loops of the curtains (Ex.
      26:4), the lace of the high priest's breastplate, the robe of
      the ephod, and the lace on his mitre, were blue (Ex. 28:28, 31,
      37).
     
         Scarlet, or Crimson. In Isa. 1:18 a Hebrew word is used which
      denotes the worm or grub whence this dye was procured. In Gen.
      38:28,30, the word so rendered means "to shine," and expresses
      the brilliancy of the colour. The small parasitic insects from
      which this dye was obtained somewhat resembled the cochineal
      which is found in Eastern countries. It is called by naturalists
      Coccus ilics. The dye was procured from the female grub alone.
      The only natural object to which this colour is applied in
      Scripture is the lips, which are likened to a scarlet thread
      (Cant. 4:3). Scarlet robes were worn by the rich and luxurious
      (2 Sam. 1:24; Prov. 31:21; Jer. 4:30. Rev. 17:4). It was also
      the hue of the warrior's dress (Nah. 2:3; Isa. 9:5). The
      Phoenicians excelled in the art of dyeing this colour (2 Chr.
      2:7).
     
         These four colours--white, purple, blue, and scarlet--were
      used in the textures of the tabernacle curtains (Ex. 26:1, 31,
      36), and also in the high priest's ephod, girdle, and
      breastplate (Ex. 28:5, 6, 8, 15). Scarlet thread is mentioned in
      connection with the rites of cleansing the leper (Lev. 14:4, 6,
      51) and of burning the red heifer (Num. 19:6). It was a crimson
      thread that Rahab was to bind on her window as a sign that she
      was to be saved alive (Josh. 2:18; 6:25) when the city of
      Jericho was taken.
     
         Vermilion, the red sulphuret of mercury, or cinnabar; a colour
      used for drawing the figures of idols on the walls of temples
      (Ezek. 23:14), or for decorating the walls and beams of houses
      (Jer. 22:14).
