What color represents humility?
According to two sources I found the answer is red. I actually thought that seemed strange and started looking into it when I saw this question here unanswered.
I found this in Michael Prestwich's book, "Knight."
"...a red cloak is worn to show humility."
A list of Catholic church associations of colors lists humility being among the ideas conveyed by red. Knighthood and Catholicism being closely linked, it is not surprising they share color symbolism.
I suppose the ideas on what color symbolizes humility has probably changed through history as I have also found mention of white and gray being the color of humility.

What was the Haudenosaunee League?
The Iroquois people called themselves the Haudenosaunee, meaning "People of the Longhouse." The Iroquois League was a powerful union of six Iroquois nations.
The league was a politically powerful entity in North America, and up until the advent of the American Revolution, was vitually indivisible in loyalty ties. For over two centuries, European powers who settled the New World sought to gain favor from the Iroquois because of their particularly fearful reputation as a united force. The original league consisted of five nations, the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga and the Seneca.
The league later formed the Iroquois Confederacy in response to European colonization in order to provide a common allied defense against aggressive white settlers. However, with the dawn of the American Revolution, some nations of the confederacy decided to ally with the British, while the others sided with the Patriots. This division of the once inseparable Iroquois Confederacy resulted in its dissolution.
