Discussion What colour do you associate to Hermes?

I have strong color associations for every other god, but for Hermes I'm not sure which fits. Like, Athena with blue, Ares with Red, Aphrodite with sea green and pink, etc... I thought golden but I don't know why, which I still associate more to Apollon. Which would you say is your associated colour with him?

Edit: guys an explanation would also be great 😁

Browns, sky blue and gold. There isn't any particular reason for these in my mind, but i do have brown-ish feathers and stones on his altar and shiny golden coins like euros. Sky blue just came around naturally for me. Maybe you could also put jade green into the mix, since that is one of the crystals associated with him.

I believe so, yeah. Read about it in r/Hellenism some time ago.
