El Greco believed that in painting most difficult between colore and disegno was colore. To quote his own words in the margin of Vitruvius' Architettura: 'es la ymitation de colores que tengo yo por la mayor dificultad.' [Special:Wysiwyg(It is the imitation of colours [in nature]that I consider as the greatest difficulty). The evidence to be discussed comprises observations of key works at close range, the conservation reports and pertinent information in the primary texts. El Greco's comments in the margin of Vitruvius' Architettura contribute to his intellectual prestige, which allows him to disagree with such authorities as Vitruvius and disregard his views on colores floridi - asserting his own preferences for intense and brilliant colouring. On El Greco's annotations which pertain to painting and colour, in order to define his meaning of colour difficulties, see Stella Lewis, 'El Greco and the "difficulties" of colour', 2008.
