Were medieval candles any color other than white or brownish?

Medieval candles were made with either beeswax or tallow (animal fat), perhaps sometimes a mixture of the two. Wax candles were costly, while tallow candles were very cheap, difficult to handle, smelly and gave off large amounts of smoke and soot. Beeswax is a golden ochre colour, while tallow candles are white. Some Church beeswax candles may have been processed to make them as white as possible, since white was the colour of purity. Paraffin wax was not used for candles until 1854 (the modern era).
