If you wish to use the mask as symbolic of Romeo, perhaps
a consideration of his character traits will assist you in the construction. For
instance, since color is always symbolic of psychological and emotional state, painting
Romeo's mask in bold colors such as red and purple which suggest his passion and
impulsiveness as well as his noble stature may be appropriate. Streaking the colors
across the mask will also indicate the impetuosity with which Romeo
acts.
In using such bold colors and strokes, you will also
wish to avoid creating a mask that suggests a villainous character, however. Maybe
adding stars in white for the star-crossed lover and other light colors will alleviate
the suggestion of any evil. A heart in the corner with Cupid's arrows may also
help.
