Version 3 of Cissanthemos is a color font—that is, one in which the colors have been chosen by the designer. The colors of this font are based on those of the manuscript on which the font is based and on other manuscripts contemporary with it. Capitals in this font can be filled with color for emphasis or decoration, and the colors can be customized in several ways; or, if you prefer, Cissanthemos can be used as an ordinary black-and-white font (for details, see the specimen page and the Cissanthemos sample and guide).
