Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen. The materials for the priestly garments are the same as the innermost tabernacle curtains: gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. The priest who serves in the sanctuary is dressed in the same material as the sanctuary itself — the high priest walking through the Holy Place is visually continuous with the curtains surrounding him. The priest doesn't stand out as a foreigner in the tabernacle; he belongs to its material world. John 17:22 says I have given them the glory that you gave me — the glory of the tabernacle's material is given to the priest who serves within it.
