What did Suffragette colors mean?
1 Answer

The suffrage color scheme was purple, white and green. The purple color represented freedom and dignity, the white color represented purity and the green hue was a representation of hope. They suffragists often wore white with the other colors represented. Some jewelry from that era also features these colors as a nod to the women who were fighting for their right to vote.
