AC 9466, 9467, 9468 - blue, crimson, and scarlet double-dyed

AC 9466
And blue.
. . ."blue" [hyacinthinum] as being the celestial love of truth.
That "blue" has this signification is because it belongs to the color of the sky,
and because by this color is signified truth from a celestial origin,
which is truth from the good of love to the Lord.
This good reigns in the inmost heaven,
and in the middle or second heaven
it is presented to view as crimson and blue;
the good itself as crimson, and the derivative truth as blue.
For in the other life, and in heaven itself, there appear most beautiful colors,
all deriving their origin from good and truth.

[2] This then is the reason why
among the things that were collected for the tabernacle,
and for the garments of Aaron,
were blue, crimson, scarlet double-dyed, and skins of red rams;
for by the tabernacle was represented the heaven of the Lord,
and by the things of which it was constructed and woven together
were represented the celestial and spiritual things
that belong to good and truth. . .

AC 9467
And crimson.
. . ."crimson," as being the celestial love of good.
The reason why this is signified by "crimson,"
is that by a red color is signified the good of celestial love.
For there are two fundamental colors from which come the rest:
the color red, and the color white.
The color "red" signifies the good which is of love;
and the color "white" signifies the truth which is of faith.

[2] From this it is evident what the remaining colors signify;
for insofar as they partake of red they signify the good of love;
and insofar as they partake of white they signify the truth of faith;
for all the colors that appear in heaven
are modifications of heavenly light and flame upon these two planes.
For heavenly light is real light,
and in itself is the Divine truth
that proceeds from the Divine good of the Lord;
wherefore the modifications of this light and flame
are variegations of truth and good, thus of intelligence and wisdom.

AC 9468
And scarlet double-dyed.
. . . "scarlet," and of "double-dyed," as being celestial truth,
which is the same as the good of mutual love.
There are two kingdoms into which the angelic heaven has been divided -
the celestial kingdom, and the spiritual kingdom;
and in each there is an internal and an external.
The internal in the celestial kingdom is the good of love to the Lord,
and the external is the good of mutual love.
It is this latter good which is signified by "scarlet double-dyed;"
by "scarlet" the good itself,
and by "double-dyed" its truth.
But in the spiritual kingdom
the internal is the good of charity toward the neighbor,
and the external is the good of obedience from faith.
That "scarlet double-dyed" signifies the good of mutual love and its truth,
is from its appearance in the other life;
for when the sphere of this good and truth
is presented to view in the lowest heaven, it appears of a scarlet color;
because that which flows down from the celestial heaven
and appears beneath, takes its color from flame,
and beneath becomes scarlet
from the shining whiteness of the light of the middle heaven,
through which it passes.

[3] As external celestial good and its truth
are signified by "scarlet double-dyed,"
therefore the Word as to the external sense,
and its derivative doctrine,
are expressed by this color,
for the reason that the Word is the Divine truth
that proceeds from the Divine good of the Lord,
and this appears as a flaming light in the inmost heaven,
and as a shining white light in the middle heaven.
