Use the Egyptian Hieroglyphics to write your name

Blue: represents the heavens which belong to the gods like Amon - the god of the wind.

Green: represents vegetation and new life. Was used for the god Osiris, the god of resurrection and fertility. This was a very common color to use.

Red: Expressed life and victory, but also furry and fire. During spiritual ceremonies many Egyptians painted their bodies red to show their dedication to the goal.

White: Used for pureness, a higher power and all that are sacred. In rituals they used white sandals to show their commitment to the sacred act.

Black: This was the color of the underworld. Their god Anubis was black, who was the king of death.
