Lighter hues, as darker colours were more expensive.

Medieval Dyes

When it comes to separating medieval clothing between the nobility and the peasantry, one handy thing to look at is color.

If one were well off and could afford it, cloth was very often dyed deeper colors. Dark blues, maroons, deep gold and bold Oranges were very popular and quite expensive, as the dyeing process could be quite involved.

The poorer classes, on the other hand, often had to make do with dyes that did not produce deeper hues and so you will often see the paintings of peasants working in colors like yellow, faded green and a dusky rose. "
