White, Morrisseau's rarest and most sacred colour, used for the Immaculate heart?

late representations of the Virgin Mary often show her holding a sheaf (spica) of wheat in her hand similar to the image for the constellation Virgo, or decorated with sheaves...some paintings show a single star on her robe, which has been interpreted by some as representing Spica (alpha Virginis)...make sense?
