Kalimac...thats an interesting idea "bluing" money. The Blue Wizards disappeared.....maybe JRRT was making use of an old turn of phrase.

I thought generally the same things as Mithadan except grey seemed to me to represent how Gandalf's greatness was clouded for awhile, hidden. He was a grey area: the greatest of the Istari, and yet not the leader of their order. And white seemed to represent leadership, or highest position within the Istari. I disagree with purity or opposite of good...Saruman was anything but that. From the beginning he was less than pure.
