There Are Only Four Passport Colors In The World, And This Is The Reason Why by FreshShavedBalls(m): 3:21pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
It turns out that there are only four primary passport colors in the world, and each country has its own reasons for choosing one of these colors for the cover. 1. RED This is the most common color. Passports with a red cover are often chosen by countries with a historical or current communist system. Citizens of Slovenia, China, Serbia, Russia, Latvia, Romania, Poland, and Georgia have red passports. Member countries of the European Union, except Croatia, also use passports of burgundy and other shades of red. Countries interested in joining the EU, such as Turkey, Macedonia, and Albania, changed the color of their passports to red a few years ago. The Andean Community of Nations — Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru — also has burgundy passports. 34 Likes 3 Shares

2. BLUE This is the next most common color. The blue cover symbolizes the "new world". 15 Caribbean countries have blue passports. Within the block of South American countries the blue passport cover symbolizes the connection with Mercosur — a trade union. This includes Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Venezuela is the exception here: it also belongs to the union, but its citizens have red passports. The passports of US citizens were changed to blue only in 1976. 31 Likes

3.BLACK The rarest passports are those with black covers. These can be found among the citizens of some African countries — Botswana, Zambia, Burundi, Gabon, Angola, Chad, Congo, Malawi and others. Citizens of New Zealand also have black passport covers, because black is the country’s national color. 23 Likes 2 Shares

4. GREEN Most Muslim countries have green passports. Examples include Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Green is considered to be the favorite color of the Prophet Muhammad, and is a symbol of nature and life. The citizens of several West African countries — for example, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, the Ivory Coast, and Senegal — also have travel documents that are various shades of green. In their case, the color indicates that they belong to ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States). 88 Likes 6 Shares

Nigeria is not a Muslim country and the passport colour should be changed to pink. Pink is the colour of puzzy and that's all Nigerian leaders are best at. 471 Likes 31 Shares |

where they have two dominant religion but one religion is always domineering and thereby trickishly imposing symbols and cultures on the entire nation including the neighbouring religion is one of the causes of our backwardness as a country. 45 Likes 3 Shares |
