The Rasta colour red, yellow and green has a special meaning in the Rastafarian heart. It represents the spiritual meaning of after the reign of his Emperor Halie Selassie I over Ethiopia. Rastafarian always wear clothing that has the rasta colours red, yellow, and green or the lion of Judah flag.
Further, in the Rastafari Livity: the red stands for the bloodshed of the African people. The yellow stands for the beautiful sunshine of the African continent and the gold stand for what was resting on the African soil that was stolen. Additionally, the green represents the agriculture and the greenery of Africa land.
