White signifies innocence, as that of the beginning student who has no previous knowledge of Taekwon-do. Yellow signifies earth, from which a plant sprouts and takes root, as Tae Kwon-Do foundation is being laid. Green signifies the plant’s growth as Tae Kwon-Do skills begin to develop. Blue signifies the heaven towards which the plant matures into a towering tree as training in Tae Kwon-Do progresses. Red signifies danger, cautioning the student to exercise control, whilst warning the opponent to stay away. Black is the opposite of white, therefore signifying maturity and proficiency in Tae Kwon-Do. It also indicates the wearer’s imperviousness to darkness and fear.
