    Rex selected the official Mardi Gras colors in 1872. The 1892 Rex Parade theme Symbolism of Colors gave meaning to the colors: purple represents justice; green, faith; and gold, power.

    Then from there, LSU chose purple and gold and Tulane following with green. They added blue!

    Yes you are correct. Go purple and gold!! Tulane took the left-over, green! lol

    Beautiful! The Party Gras fabrics from Blank are very festive, as are the blenders that match up with them.
