White

White is consistently used in Scripture as a symbol of purity, holiness, victory, and divine glory. In Levitical contexts, the purified leper presented himself with a white garment to signify cleansing; white garments for the Levites and priests (2 Chronicles 5:12) expressed consecration to God's service. Isaiah 1:18 offers God's invitation to covenant renewal: "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." In the Apocalypse, white garments are given to the redeemed (Revelation 3:4–5; 7:9, 14) and the armies of heaven are clothed in fine white linen (Revelation 19:14). The transfigured Christ's garments became "white as snow" or "white as the light" (Matthew 17:2; Mark 9:3). In Daniel 7:9, the Ancient of Days wears garments white as snow. The consistent association of white with the divine presence and with the eschatological state of the redeemed makes it the dominant colour of apocalyptic vision.
