The answer is: Blue and white

Esther 8:15

When we think about Mordecai in the Book of Esther, his royal apparel isn't just a fashion statement; it signifies his elevation to a place of honor in the Persian kingdom after the defeat of Haman. The colors blue and white often carry significant meanings across various cultures—blue can symbolize divine grace, while white often signifies purity and truth.

In Esther 8:15, Mordecai is described as parading through the city bedecked in these colors, a testimony not only to his new status but also to the dramatic reversal of fortune that wedding the narrative as a whole. This moment mirrors the often-shifted themes found in the story of Joseph sold into slavery and later adorned in garments of significance, underscoring the motif of divine justice prevailing amidst adversity.

Trivia crowd: Did you know that in ancient Persia, colorful clothing could signal one's rank and privilege? In fact, only certain officials were granted permission to wear specific hues, making Mordecai’s robe a visible reminder of his substantial authority just after having gone through extraordinary trials to save his people.

Furthermore, the attire of Mordecai echoes the Jewish tradition of exalting characters such as King David and others. It reminds watchers of overcoming injustices and highlights a continuing narrative of hope and renewal that runs throughout the scriptures—a refreshing dose of inspiration for anyone feeling low and looking to rise. True to form, even garments can serve to amplify the moral lessons and divine interventions we long for in our human stories.
