Yellow—the sear and yellow leaf. The colour of mourning in Egypt and Burmah. In Brittany widows' caps among the peasants are yellow. Anne Boleyn wore yellow mourning for Catherine of Arragon, but as a sign of joy.
Scarlet is also a mourning colour, and was occasionally worn by the French Kings, notably so by Louis XI.
