Polychrome mosaic?

[Gashford]

Hello all<br>
<br>
Recently I was doing abit of digging about and came across the following examples of polychrome mosaics. What on earth is a polychrome mosaic and are the colours here the actual colours we would expect to have seen clothes actually to have been during the 1st Century AD?<br>
