Esther 1:6

There were linen draperies (curtains) of white and blue [the Persian royal colors] fastened with [nearly 20 meter long strong] ropes of fine linen and purple on silver rings and marble pillars. [Excavations have shown that the columns were dark blue]. The couches [on which the guests sat, see Est. 7:8] were of gold and silver [the fabric was embroidered with gold and silver threads] [placed] on mosaic floors of alabaster, marble, mother-of-pearl and dark stone. [Different materials in the colors green, blue, mother of pearl and probably black.]
