Stormarksgothi,

Which are, if any, the colours associated with Odin, Frigga and Thor?

Offhand, dark blue and gray, I believe, are associated with Odin, red with Thor...

But to get a full listing I'll have to look it up when I get home.

Ok, quotes on each from Our Troth by Kveldulfr Gundarsson of The Troth:

Odin:
QUOTE
...Odin's characteristic color is a deep blue-black. He is also associated with the deep blue of a midnight sky when the moon is full. Those who work with Odin are often fond of wearing blue and black, grey or the silver of steel.


Frigga:
QUOTE
Colours associated with Frigg in Asatru practise today are light blue and white.


Thor:
QUOTE
Colors associated with Thor by modern worshippers are bright red or sometimes, turquoise blue.

Really, it depends on the deity.

Forseti, for instance, is associated with red and gold.
