i see dark reds and browns and a hint of gold.

red for kill, brown for greed, and gold for the front and confidence she has.

dunno if that helps

Know that everything McBeth did was do to his wife. She was the villain of the sotry.

She was kind of two faced, wasn't she? Maybe a happy, pleasant looking smile on one side, and a "mean" face on the other?

I'd use very simple coloration if I was making it. Maybe even just black and white. Though red on the "mean" side, to signify blood, might be appropriate.

As far as traits, her biggest one seemed to be uncontrolled ambition: and the tragedy that befalls her her husband, and her, stem from that.

It's a great play, in some ways, even more tragic than Hamlet.

Have fun with it.
