ColourMeaning
white Signifies INNOCENCE, as that of the beginning student with no previous knowledge of Tae Kwon-Do.
Yellow Signifies EARTH, from which a plant sprouts and takes root as a Tae Kwon-Do foundation is being laid.
Green Signifies PLANTS GROWTH, as Tae Kwon-Do skills begin to develop.
Blue Signifies the HEAVEN towards which a plant matures into a towering tree as training in Tae Kwon-Do progresses.
Red Signifies DANGER, cautioning the student to exercise control and warning the opponent to stay away.
Black Opposite to white, therefore signifying the maturity and proficiency in Tae Kwon-Do, also indicates the wearers imperviousness to darkness and fear.
