What did Suffragette colors mean?
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.
