These references transcend mere visual description, extending into psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical meanings. Such color symbolism has been significantly reflected in Islamic arts, particularly in manuscript art, through ornamentation, illumination, and textual decoration, maintaining a balance between the beauty and sanctity of the text. This paper examines colors mentioned in the Quran, analyzes their symbolic meanings in the context of modern color theories, and explores their artistic manifestations in Islamic arts, especially manuscripts, from an integrated aesthetic and artistic perspective.
