Righteous colours




I have decided to incorporate the Rastafarian's chosen colours that represent their faith.Red signifies the blood of those killed for the cause of the black community, throughout Jamaican history.Green represents Jamaica's vegetation and hope for the eradication of suppression.Gold symbolises the wealth of Ethiopia.

But I intend to re-appropriate the meanings of these colours with regards to representation of Big Bud. Red signifies the one blood of his fans regardless of background, race, age etc they are all united for the love of the music. Red also evokes feelings of warmth and passion, which are also two very good descriptive's for reggae and drum and bass. Green represents the growth of the musical genre of reggae and it is with this growth that has created and inspired other musical genres. Gold is a colour full of radiance and happiness, in terms of colour theory this colour is essential in promotoing good moods.
