The red, yellow, green are the colors of the Rasta flag. The red symbolizes the blood of black people, the yellow the stolen gold and the green the lost lands of Africa.
The Rasta flag can also be seen during coptic celebration in the motherland Ethiopia. These colors are too on the senegalese flag, from where thousand of slaves were deported, transiting by the Goree island.
Original Rasta Flag The original flag of Rastafarians was Red, Black and Green. Red represented the blood of blacks that died in struggle to fight off their white oppressors. Black represented the color of black Africans skin. Green represented the vegetation of Jamaica and Jah's (God) earth.
Current Rasta Flag The current flag is the old Ethiopian flag with the Lion of Judah symbol. The meaning of the colors in the Ethiopian flag is: red for the blood, gold for the minerals & resources and green for the land.

2010-09-01 19:17 | I am at a lost, while growing in the 60's & 70's after moving away from the Garvey colors red, black & green, the rastas I was associated with always stated that the colors of the movement was taken from the colors of the mother/father land which were green on top yellow and red at bottom the colors of Ethiopia. Today rastas will accept any order of these colors from the much liked red at top yellow and green at bottom like Ghana or Bolivia to yellow at top red and green at bottom. My question is what are the true colors of reggae and the rastafarian movement?
