To: Hebrews 11:6
These make me think what it must have been like to be there.

The use of bright colors symbolize the joy, the almost overwhelming joy that was felt, and several of the artists had foreshadowing ;

- the Roman soldier in colorful #3
- #4's color, and looong perspective
- #5 yes color, but notice the use of black-cloked (KJV spelling) 4shadowing (4sh).
- #27 - prominent black 4sh
- #28, obvious 4sh!
- #6 Dore...That's Dore? Wow. Great colors, but Jesus is in a dark cloke.
#10, Tissot, you can almost hear the Hosanna's!
- 4sh in #11, 21, & 24
- # 16 ...colors!!

I think the use of contrast is so appropriate, given that we know...the artists knew what was to happen, but still, the bright colors with no contrast pieces make me think the artists just wanted to focus on the joy of the moment...

Often, I stumble upon colored Dorés, and I assume some unknown percentage of them were colorized by admirers.

the artists just wanted to focus on the joy of the moment...

If they didn't, they missed the point, eh?
