Angel Color Palette

Look closely at historic angel paintings and the wings often become the most colorful part. Fra Angelico used blue and gold in peacock-like feathers, with red for seraphim and blue for cherubim.

National Gallery records also describe gilding, green glaze, red lake, and pink beneath ultramarine.

This selection gathers those painted details into six clear references. White recalls robes, Gold follows halos and gilded feathers, while Royal Blue, Crimson, Forest Green, and Light Pink bring the wings back into view.
