O.K., so now we're getting into mythical characters with magical powers.

In most myths, the characters with the most powerful magic are those who are half and half. This can be walks on earth and flies or flies and swims or half animal, half human, animals that talk, etc.

In the case of the Madonna (mother Goddess), this character would be depicted in the styles of the day but with colouring that set her apart from ordinary humans. Thus the black skin, blond hair, blue eyes and white hands. In Celtic myth, the Gods had red hair with black roots and blond tips. These are the super humans.

If you want to discuss colour and the how some people suffer from being 'different' than some ideal stereotype of beauty, lets talk about red-heads! Now those people are more different than anybody else. Not only do they have red-hair, they have freckles! They are a definite minority!
