Amun, an ancient Egyptian god. Amun is usually shown as a striding man wearing a tall, plumed crown. Originally, Amun was depicted with red-brown skin but after the Amarna period he was painted with blue skin, symbolizing his association with air and primeval creation. Amun was also depicted in a wide variety of other forms.

Set blue skin color tone to "egyptian blue", a pigment used in ancient Egypt for thousands of years (for depicted Amun's skin too). RGB: (16,52,166); Hex: (#1034A6).
Crown feathers now have seven sections, in accordance with most Egyptian images. Changing armbands and anklets to all gold, for better distinction from blue skin and based on reliefs of the blue Amun from Seti I's temple at Abydos.
