This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.

For those who want to know where in New Zealand it is, this is in Hamilton Gardens in Hamilton!
