A guide to Saint‑Denis’s stained glass: themes, colors, and how cycles teach theology in light.

Stained glass at Saint‑Denis is didactic color. Cycles narrate scripture and kingship; chromatic hierarchies guide attention and reading. Windows act as luminous manuscripts for the moving body.
🎨 Chromatic Grammar
- Blue: Contemplative depth, Marian associations.
- Red: Action and sacrifice.
- Gold: Glory and sanctity.
- Green: Creation and renewal.
| Cycle | Theme | Color Emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| Prophets | Expectation | Deep blues |
| Kings | Authority | Red‑gold accents |
| Virtues | Ethics | Balanced palette |
| Passion | Sacrifice | Red fields |
🧩 Panel Composition
- Lead cames: Draw contours and logic.
- Tracery: Governs panel geometry.
- Light management: Color density vs readability.
Color is theology you can read in light.
