Here is why passports have four colors only

Passport is a pivot for going to other countries. Have you ever wondered why passports have specific colors or why they are always green, blue, black or red? Here is the reason for why passports are of only four colors.

Though they have different shades but these shades belong to the family of these four colors. Sometimes there are geographical and political motives behind using certain colors. Members of the European Union have burgundy red passports, which are due to past communist history.

Whereas blue passports are generally symbolic of the ‘New World’, like North America, South America, Oceania, etc.

For some countries, it’s about faith. Most Islamic states use green passports because of the importance of the color in their religion. Also, green is a symbol of nature and life.

Other nations opt for styles that reflect their individual character and identity. Swiss passports have are bright red. US had tried numerous colors:  red, green, and now blue.

Passports are also dictated by what’s practical. Sometimes the color of travel documents comes down to what’s available.
