Mardi Gras GOLD represents POWER

Did you know that Purple and Green shouldn’t touch?

“purple, green and gold, [is] a heraldic faux pas placing a color on top of a color. …In the days preceding the first Rex parade when the Royal edicts were published, the field, as first mentioned in Edict XII, were stated as being, in this order, “green, gold, and purple.” Over time the order of the colors would be changed in popular verbal usage, yet when Rex first pronounced them they were in perfect heraldic order.“

Mardi Gras Colors aren’t just festive. Each color has a meaning.
Purple: Represents JUSTICE

“The colors were chosen in 1892 for the Rex Parade, which had the theme “Symbolism of Colors”. The King of Carnival proclaimed that balconies should be decorated in these colors, but he didn’t explain why.”
