It is even more remarkable in the descriptions of the dress and weapons of the warriors and kings.

They blaze with colour; and as gold was plentiful in Ireland in those far-off days, yellow and red are continually flashing in and out of the blue and green and rich purple of their dress.

The women are dressed in as rich colours as the men.

When Eochy met Etain by the spring of pure water, as told in this book, she must have flashed in the sunlight like a great jewel.

Then, the halls where they met and the houses of the kings are represented as glorious with colour, painted in rich patterns, hung with woven cloths dyed deep with crimson and blue and green and yellow.
