Does anyone know the personal coours of the Tudor Kings and Queens?
I know that Anne Boleyns were Blue and Purple and Princess Marys were Blue and Green. Can anyone help me to fill in for the other wives and Elizabeth and Edward? 5  out of 8 found this valuable. Do you?

The house of Tudor colours were green and white and that is what their servants and livery would wear. Anne's livery wore Blue and Purple. Now if you are referring to the personal colours of their clothing ...they would have worn all kinds of colours according to the sumptuary laws.http://tudorswiki.sho.com/page/Chart+of+Tudor+Sumptuary+Laws.
As Royals, they could wear any colour they wanted but of course they had their personal favourites. Black was popular among nobles because to dye a cloth that dark took a lot of work. 9  out of 12 found this valuable. Do you?
