White in decorative and royal descriptions · dominant
In Esther 1:6, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the description of curtains and hangings; the APB renders the setting with "white cotton curtains." In Esther 8:15, the same form occurs with Mordecai’s royal garments, which the APB renders as "blue and white."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the color as "white" in both verses, once for curtains and once for royal garments. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate the term mechanically.
