Here I show you the illustration of San Giovanni Degli Eremiti, which you can find on my online shop. 

 As written yesterday, I add now the second point of view concerning the question: 

The red domes of Arab-Norman Palermo - The domes dilemma: were they really red or not?", written by Dario Leggio and posted on the blog of Palermoviva. [...] This is in contrast to what the reporter of the X century Ibn Hawqal claims: "... you could admire the red domes immersed in the green of the Conca D'Oro". It's clear and evident that the Arabic reporter did not describe newly-built red domes, therefore not oxidized by atmospheric agents. Instead, he describes a frequent use of Arabic architecture of that time (i.e. in the Xth century) in actually painting red domes. [...] 

With this other paragraph, we have proof of how the domes under Roger II could be red. What do you think about it? Do you want to read more? Read the full article in Italian: https://www.palermoviva.it/le-cupole-rosse-della-palermo-arabo-normanna/
