The stole means "duke", which means - decent household security, probably, but also luxury, and also probably a relatively limited set of people with access to her. She could wind up sold to some kind of labor rental outfit, or to somebody who doesn't have the scratch to make keeping slaves practical but does it anyway to look richer than they are. The color means Viore, which is a step closer to the border than she is right now.
She ducks her head and approximates a polite curtsey, like the old lady's niece made her learn once.
