Carole Bannister	Folklore: colour known as 'haint blue' ?!? (16)	RE: Folklore: colour known as 'haint blue' ?!?	15 Jun 12
Woad is blue and the ancient British tribes reputedly painted themselves with it to scare off their enemies. A reference to protection? In the art world blue was the most costly colour to produce in the medeival period which is why it was used mainly to represent "high status" figures such as the Virgin Mary. (or so I am told)
