Jersey Lawyer's post has got me wondering something else.

Is there a particular colour (or colours) of sealing wax that is acceptable or would any colour do?

I've seen red wax almost exclusively, but I have also seen a few letters sealed with green, blue, or gold wax.

If you happen to become Pope, or King of Great Britain, Ireland, and your other realms and territories, then there is a color code where certain types of documents are sealed with certain colors of wax.

If you're sending a letter... whatever strikes your fancy.

Thank you, JerseyLawyer; were I king, you'd get a letter with a green seal for that!

I seem to recall that the legal profession in the UK many years ago also had a colour code for their sealing wax. Perhaps I am wrong?

Blood red seems to be the only colour sealing wax that I come across.
