Was it St Ignatious of Loyola?  Shocked

Red martyrdom occurs when a person sheds their blood for Jesus and willingly losses their earthly life rather than deny Him.
White martyrdom is when a person denies themselves and becomes a total offering to God, 'dying' to the world and it's allurements, but no violent death is involved for the person.
Blue martyrdom?

ah, ok -- white martyrdom involves denying oneself all that one loves in a pilgrimage to Christ on a permanent basis, while blue martyrdom is a denying to yourself as in fasting or penitential labors but not especially a journey nor a permanent condition.  neither involve violent death.

You are right , Rachel  big grin

St Columba speaks of three types of Martyrdom:

" It is white martyrdom for a man when he separates from everything that he loves for God, although he does not endure fasting and labor thereby.

The blue martyrdom is when through fasting and hard work they control their desires or struggle in penance and repentance.

The red martyrdom is when they endure a cross or destruction for Christ’s sake, as happened to the Apostles when they were persecuted the wicked and taught the law of God.

These three kinds of martyrdom take place in those people who repent well (blue martyrdom), who control their desires (white martyrdom) , and who shed their blood (red martyrdom) in fasting and labor for Christ’s sake." (St Columba, Cambrai Homily)

For the celts the white martyrdom was often voluntary exile from the homeland or monastery to undertake a missionary pilgrimage to a foreign land. Indeed evidence suggests that this is how Christianity reached Scotland with Ninian and Columba. There is a story that Columba settled in Iona because it was the first island he reached from which he could not see his beloved Ireland, even if he climbed to the highest point.

Patricia, I had been taught that white martyrdom was real persecution (for Christ) of some type. Is that like what St. Columba was saying?

I'm not sure, but looks like persecution comes under red martyrdom according to St. Columba Huh?
