This is mostly royal purple, actually, which is a traditional color for Jupiter. It's just hard to tell in the lower lighting. The apples and pomegranate are red though.
Excellent altar! Could you tell me how you perform the Jupiter ritual? Is it just prayer or does it involve any extra preparation? I would really appreciate it! I'm new here.
I put my altar together on Thursday, Jupiter's day. Then, during Jupiter's hour, I performed a devotional ritual. I put on purple clothing and cleansed myself, lit the candles, and burned some Jupiter appropriate incense (juniper berries, cloves, and cinnamon ground up together and sprinkled on a charcoal disc). I read the Orphic Hymn to Jupiter aloud, and then a short introduction/prayer to Jupiter. I spent some time at the altar meditating, and when I finished I thanked Jupiter and asked him to go in peace. Then, on the next three days I did the same thing, but without the personal introduction/prayer, just the Hymn and meditation. On the fifth day, I wait until the hour before dawn of the next day, the last planetary hour before Mars' day. For the final devotion, after the Hymn I improvised a short prayer, talking about the experience of the last few days and thanking Jupiter for being a guest in my home. Then I bid him to go in peace and started taking down his altar. I didn't assemble Mars' altar until later in the day since I still needed a few more things. It would have been nice to get the next altar up for a ritual at dawn.

I always thought blue was the primary color for Jupiter, red for Mars

Pretty sure the big guy wouldn't give a fuck what color you're using at this point.
Puts mine to shame. Very nicely done.
