gold, white, blue, red, green

Evidence

"As regards the colour spectrum of illuminated titles we find that characters in gold, often outlined in black ink, predominate. Other pigments, such as for example white, contrasting with a blue, red or even green background, were also often used."

Remarks

Illuminated titles in Maghrebi manuscripts were calligraphed almost invariably in the so-called al-khatṭ al-Mashriqī or thuluth → Maghribī (p. 122).
