Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican victory over French invaders on the fifth of May, 1862, and has become a holiday to celebrate Mexican pride, heritage and culture. The amazing costumes and traditional dress are just part of the fun, but are certainly eye-catching. Perhaps they can help to inspire your next color adventure?

Lots of food for thought! Not just red, green and white.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the happy colors!
ReplyDeleteYou say you love the colors....would you happen to know what colors are best known for representing Cinco De Mayo? I want to try and show support for those who, long ago, fought for Mexican freedom and heritage. Today they celebrate their victory...and color is a big part of it. I want to wear maybe two of those colors tomorrow to school...what is your suggestion of the right colors to wear? This would mean a lot to me, more than you know, if you could help me out a bit. It isn't just deciding what to wear. It's being respectful to one of my peers at school who happens to be Mexican. This person means very much to me and I would love it if you could help me with this...I want them to notice me tomorrow. And if they do then I will put all my thanks to you.
DeleteThere isn't a specific set of colors associated with the holiday - like pink and red for Valentine's, etc. Red, white, and green Mexican flag colors might be your best bet!
