The Mandalorians have become extremely popular thanks to the success of Disney’s The Mandalorian, a spin-off TV show set during the early days of the New Republic. Despite their turbulent history, the Mandalorians have remained fierce fighters and one of the best-known races in George Lucas’ Star Wars universe. Among other things, the Mandalorians are known for their specific armor, which is similar in design for all Mandalorians, although each clan has some specific details. Today, we are going to talk about the Mandalorian armor colors meaning.

The meanings of the colors of Mandalorian Armor, after the Clone Wars, are as follows: grey for the mourning of lost love, red for honoring a parent, black for justice, gold for vengeance, green for duty, blue for reliability, orange for a lust for life, and white for a new start.

The meaning of colors in Mandalorian armor evolved through time, just like the armor itself. The Mandalorians were known to paint their armor in the traditional colors that represented specific causes the individual might currently be undertaking, so they have changed during their lifetime. The colors, however, did not always have a specific meaning. Sometimes they were just colors that the particular Mandalorian liked.

The first mention of any specific coloration of Mandalorian armor stems from the early days of the Mandalorian race, when the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, a group of Mandalorian warriors, used differently colored armors that reflected their ranks. The suits had four colors: silver for veterans on the front line, gold for Field Marshals, crimson for Rally Masters and blue for all others.

This, of course, changed, and as of the Clone Wars, the colors received specific meanings and they came to represent a sentiment held by the Mandalorian warrior.
