The answer to this question depends on the context. The ancient Ukrainians who first created pysanky used local plants to create dyes to decorate eggs, and of course they were limited by what was available to them. Historically, their eggs used yellow, red, green and black colors. Small highlights of blue were sometimes added, but this was a difficult color to obtain from nature. Contemporary "Easter Eggs" tend to be decorated in pastel shades of yellow, pink, green, purple, blue, orange, and so on. Modern artists experiment with every color under the sun! Specific colors have specific meanings, so depending on the patterns and designs you choose, and the culture from which they originate, the colors take on those meanings.
