Would those colors have actually been on the cloak, or are they added by a later artist?

i saw it in the painting and would have to research the cloak. Maybe we both can.

I was just so startled by those colors.

BTW, the rose dress repesents God the Father
The turquoise veil represents God the Holy Spirit
The brown sash signifies she is pregant (with God the Son)

Beautiful!

I don't know the particulars of the angel's colors, but in general, I believe the colors in the original tilma were part of the miracle. They have (or had) meaning to the Aztecs of that time, i.e. the turquoise of the mantle Mary is wearing, etc.
