    The flag color is initiated from the poster of the Army of the Three Guarantees, which lasted from 1821 to 1823. At first the meaning of the colors was:

    • Green: was a sign of independence from Spain.
    • White: Religion, faith or belief, the Roman Catholic faith.
    • Red: Union among Americans and Europeans.

    However, the meaning of the colors altered because of the no religious control of the country, which was leaded by President Benito Juarez. After that the flag colors were given new meanings which are as follows:

    • Green: as symbol of Hope
    • White: as symbol of Unity
    • Red: as symbol of national heroes Blood

    The World Encyclopedia of Flags gives the following meaning to the colors of the flag:

    • Green: as symbol of Hope
    • White: as symbol of Purity
    • Red: as symbol of Religion

    Many political groups have made use of the national colors as part of political symbols or logos. For instance, the political party Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) has taken the flag colors as part of their symbol. Another political group the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) also used the flag colors as part of their logo, but in 1990's changed them.
