Colors of Mardi Gras |
|
Rex selected the official Mardi Gras
colors in 1872. The 1892 Rex Parade theme Symbolism of Colors gave
meaning to the colors: purple represents justice; green, faith; and gold,
power. It's interesting to note that our Mardi Gras colors influenced the choice of school colors for arch rivals Louisiana State University and Tulane University. When LSU was deciding on its colors, the shops in New Orleans had stocked up on purple, gold, and green material for the Mardi Gras season, but green had not yet arrived *; therefore, LSU decided upon purple and gold, and bought much of it. Tulane bought much of the only remaining color -- green! (Their colors are blue and green.) |

Colors of Fantasy Fest |
|
Fantasy Fest Beads. Borrowing
from New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition, we decided to make the colors
uniquely Key West’s by assigning a meaning to each color--
purple for passion, pink for diversity and turquoise for the sea. |
