[INDOLOGY] Colour symbolism in pre-modern Indic sources; concise overview of the senses

[John Huntington]

The Buddhist tantric color symbolism is covered extensively (passim) in
Dina Bangdel's† and my Circle of Bliss: Buddhist Meditational Art, 2003.
Although  long out of print, it is available under both my listing and
Dina's listings on Academia.edu.
