Colors of the Mind, Light, and Hand in Renaissance Symbolism
During the Renaissance (14th–17th centuries), colors carried rich symbolic associations in art, clothing, and literature. This period witnessed a revival of classical ideas, often described as an emergence from medieval “darkness” into the light of learning. In this cultural context, three colors stand out for their thematic resonance with intellect, virtue, and craft: burgundy symbolizing the scholarly mind, white symbolizing enlightened reason and purity, and peach-salmon symbolizing the artisan’s hand and creative work.
Burgundy: The Mind
In the Renaissance, burgundy symbolized prestige, intellect, and the quiet power of scholars and philosophers. A color worn by thinkers and magistrates, it embodied depth and cultivated wisdom. The Odyssey 2.0 dons a burgundy sunburst dial, elevated with BGW9-lumed applied indices.
White: The Light
White stood for purity, clarity, and the dawn of reason in Renaissance thought. It was the color of revelation, worn by angels and imagined by thinkers as the light breaking through ignorance. The Odyssey 2.0 dons a white-lacquered dial, flat and elegant, made better by BGW9-lumed applied indices.
Peach-Salmon: The Hand
Peach-salmon echoed the flesh tones artists labored to perfect—celebrating the dignity of craftsmanship and the human touch. It symbolized the act of making, where the hand meets art in warm, living color. The Odyssey 2.0 dons a peach-salmon sunburst dial, expressive and radiant, with BGW9-lumed applied indices.
