There are five main colors in the "Hmong" colors.
1. Red
2. Yellow
3. Blue
4. Green
5. White
Red = Symbolizes war, shamans use this color to signal any evil spirits that if they come close, they will get killed. When we fought in wars, we also attached red cloth to our weapons, symbolizing we intend to destroy our enemies. The Chinese adopted this from us, but instead of using red cloth, they started using those furry things.
Yellow = Represents Nkauj Hnub, the source of life, without the sun, we'd be dead.
Blue = Represents the heavens, we always wear blue in traditional Hmong clothes to remind our people that we are from the heavens.
Green = Represents the earth, our home. The colors blue and yellow combined make green, this means that without the heavens or without the sun, there would be no earth. This color represents nature and our respect for nature. It represents that our main diet was also a vegetarian diet, why do you think OGs love zaub tsuag.
White = Represents purity, also in known arts and the study of lights, the color white is simply the color without any other color. We usually sew everything around white cloth to represent that we started fresh.
Black, although not one of the main colors, is a traditional color we wear, it represents all colors combined. It also provided good camouflage in times of war, so it became standard to wear black.
