- red: showing courage;
- orange: offers a vision of possibilities;
- yellow: represents the challenge that GREEN has turned on;
- green: shows the challenge for co-operators to seek for membership growth and an understanding of the purpose and value of cooperation;
- light blue: showing far-reaching horizons, the need to educate and help the less fortunate and seek global unity.
- dark blue: suggests pessimism: a reminder that disadvantaged people have needs that can be met through the benefits of cooperation.
- violet: is the color of warmth, beauty, and friendship.
