There are two traditional interpretation of the colors of the tabernacle:
Corresponded to the human body:
Gold = the soul
Silver = the body
Copper = the voice
Purple = the flesh
Blue = the veins
Red = the blood
Ram skins dyed red = the skin of the face
Corresponded to the heavens:
Gold = the sun
Silver = the moon
Copper = the western horizon at sunset
Purple = the clouds
Blue = the sky
Red = the rainbow
Ram skins dyed red = thunder

the veil that separated the outer room from the Holy of Holies was made of intertwined threads of blue, purple and red wool, and linen. the combined color would be a medium shade of purple. The veil was embroidered with cheruvim (Exodus ch.26) whose color is not specified.
Although there is no universal rule about the color of her veil, the Blessed Virgin is usually depicted wearing a blue or white veil over her head.

There is no mention in the KJV of anyone with the name Veronica. There are verses which mention a veil but most are related to the Veil which stood between the tabernacle and the Holy area where only the High Priest could enter.Song of Solomon 5:7 Matthew 27:51 Mark 15:38 Luke 23:45 Hebrews 6:19,9:3,10:20
Blue or green!
In the King James versionthe word - veil - appears 7 timesSon 5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.Mat 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.Luk 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;Heb 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
The 'tabernacle' sometimes refers to the 'tent of meeting' and sometimes to the actual tabernacle which was within the tent of meeting (which can cause confusion if one is equating the two). Within the walls of the tent of meeting were the altar of burnt offering, the bronze 'sea' (a big old basin of water resting upon 12 bronze, outward facing bulls), and, of course, the covered tabernacle consisting of two rooms, the holy place, wherein only priests were allowed to go in daily to offer incense on the altar of incense, light the gold lampstand, or put out the showbread. The back room of the tabernacle was segregated from the front by a veil, and only the High Priest was allowed to enter through that veil, and then, only on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) to make atonement for Israel. So if by the tabernacle you meant the tent of meeting, the answer is that only male Israelites could enter the tent of meeting wherein the tabernacle was located - we see this in the first chapter of Leviticus, where a layman was instructed to bring his burnt offering to the north side of the altar of burnt offerings, and slay it, skin it, and cut it up there. It was the priests who then took these and offered them on the altar. The laymen however, could not (under penalty of death) enter the tabernacle - nor could the Levites. Of course when the tabernacle was moved, the holy items within were covered, and the tent taken down - so that when the (covered) ark of the covenant etc. were made visible, they were no longer in the tabernacle (for it was taken down first) - thus a Levite could carry the ark out of where it was sitting without actually entering the tabernacle.

There were three curtains in the Tabernacle, and a larger number in the Temple. I'll assume that you're asking about the curtain that was in front of the Holy of Holies.In the Tabernacle, its width was ten amot (about five meters).In the First Temple, its width was that of an ordinary door, since there was a wall with a curtain where a door would have been.In the Second Temple, its width was twenty amot (about ten meters).
St. George Tabernacle was created in 1876.
The Blessed sacrament is held in the tabernacle.
No, the Tabernacle was only temporary.
white because traditionally the bride wears a white dress/veil and has a bouquet of white flowers
