Victorious Hall Royal

Latin victōriōsus, of victory — derived from victor (winner). As a color modifier, victorious implies a saturated-and-celebratory-and-conquering quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Imperial victory-procession purpura-dyed paludamentum cloak. Sits at the bold-and-celebratory end of the grid, parallel to triumphant and conquering.

Old English heall, large-room / mansion. As a color modifier, hall implies a great-room-and-banquet quality, the visual register of Hampton-Court-and-Westminster hand-built timber-roof-and-stone-pillar great-hall ceremonial-and-dining surfaces under Tudor-and-Plantagenet great-hall ceremonial-feast candlelight. Sits at the modifier-and-place end of the grid, parallel to manor and court in usage.

The blue of European royal court dress and regalia from the late seventeenth century forward — the color of British peers' robes, French royal sashes, the lining of the crown-jewel cases. The color refers to a saturated, slightly violet-shifted blue with the matte finish of velvet or melton wool dyed to maximum intensity: deeper than cornflower, warmer than ultramarine, with the heraldic weight of a color reserved for monarchs and the official Crown.
