I *believe* Bernadette said the lady who appeared to her was in white but I couldn't verify this quickly. OL of Guadalupe is not in white but I haven't been able to tease out the various colors of her garment. I know less than nothing about OL of Med... (and am too lazy to look up the spelling or descriptions of her). As for other apparitions (Saint Dominic, Bernard, etc), does anyone know if the colors of Mary's garments are described?
