Tudor clothing in blue?

[frualeydis]

Does any of you know any examples of english (or possibly flemish or french) upper class clothing from c. 1500-1540 in blue that you can direct me to? I don't care what shade of blue, as long as it's blue. Dark green will actually also do. I'm planning to make some tudor clothes for my husband, to match mine and I'm looking for documentation for my preferred colour choices. It doesn't have to be men's clothing since there doesn't seem to be a difference in colour preferences between the sexes.

I'm pretty sure some of the people in the early tudor tapestries at Haampton Court Palace we saw yesterday are dressed in blue - which might means they were actually blue to begin with or that they were originally green and have faded to blue.

Unfortunately, I didn't take notes so can't give you any specifics....
