This is a simple list of Caste colors.

Out of all the different Castes mentioned within the Books, only fifteen are shown to have a specific color or colors associated with their particular Caste.

 

 

First, the five High Castes:

 

Initiates White

Scribes Blue

Builders Yellow

Physicians Green

Warriors Red or Scarlet

 

 

And then, the other ten Castes:

 

Assassins Black

Bakers Yellow and Brown or Brown and Black

Metal Workers Black and Gray

Merchants Yellow and White or Gold and White

Peasants Gray, White or Brown

Players Red and Yellow checkered

Slavers Blue and Yellow

Sleen Trainers Black and Brown

Tarn Keepers Brown with Green streaks

Vintners White with Green cloth leaves

 

 

It also seems appropriate to mention the colors associated with the offices of the Administrator and Ubar:

 

Administrator Brown

Ubar Purple
