National Symbols of Israel – National Colors


National Symbols of Israel – National Colors

The National colors of Israel are officially blue and white as seen on the flag of Israel.

The origin of the combination of these colors is from the Bible, in which they are mentioned in several instances. Blue and white was used in the Tabernacle gate and curtains. The High Priest was arrayed in blue and white garments. Blue is Heavenly and signifies Divinity. White represents purity, integrity, righteousness and truth. Royalty, including Mordecai, wore blue and white garments.

Blue and white are also the traditional team colors of the Israel National sporting teams.
