THE MEANINGS OF THE COLORS RED, GOLD (YELLOW), & GREEN ( AND SOMETIMES) BLACK IN PAN-AFRICAN FLAGS

Excerpt #1 
From https://medium.com/illumination-curated/why-most-african-flags-use-the-red-yellow-and-green-colors-61e90d6164c  Why Most African Flags Use the Red, Yellow, and Green Colors?

The Untold Story Behind Most African Flags by Bisi Media, Feb. 22, 2021
""On October 11th, 1897, a year after Ethiopia defended itself from Italian colonization at the Battle of Adwa, Emperor Menelik II authorized the creation of a flag containing a rectangular tri-color from top to bottom: red, yellow, and green.

[...]

These three colors red, green, and yellow with the inclusion of black will later be known as the Pan-African colors.

Although the meaning of the individual colors used in a country’s flag may differ from country to country; the countries of the flags that make use of the Pan-African colors have similar meaning with green representing the unique nature of the continent having good land for agriculture, red representing the blood, and common heritage of Africans during the fight against oppression from colonialism, yellow representing the wealth of Africa, and finally, black which signifies the color of the people."...

Excerpt #2
From https://blogs.umass.edu/wbdubois/2022/09/13/the-colors-of-pan-african-solidarity/ The Colors of Pan-African Solidarity, 2022
"The Pan-African flag was created in 1920 to represent people of the African Diaspora and to symbolize black liberation in the United States. As flags symbolize the union of governance, people, and territory, this flag was created to give Black people in the U.S., that is to say New Afrikans, in the Americas (Cubans, Jamaicans, Colombians, etc.) and the world over a symbol that unifies the Diaspora. This tri-color flag consists of three equal horizontal bands colored Red, Black, and Green.

Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not yet a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag;

Green: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland; youth, hope.

Since its existence, a number of African nations have adopted the colors as a symbol of sovereignty and unity. It has also been adopted by several Black organizations that carry on the fight towards justice and liberation for Black people. Gold or yellow, representing peace and harmony, has also been associated with pan-African solidarity as inspired by the flag of Ethiopia that Emperor Menelik had made on 11 October 1897, a year after Ethiopia decisively defeated the Kingdom of Italy at the Battle of Adwa,"...

A VERSE FROM CHRONIXX'S "HERE COMES TROUBLE" SONG THAT REFERS TO THE COLORS RED, GOLD, AND GREEN
..."Waving the banner red, green and gold
It is such a honor profficie’s unfold
Discovered on stones, an trees, an scrolls
And even in the stories that Jesus told
Rasta youth must inherit the earth
[...]
Rasta recruiting soldiers coming from near an far i choose
Executing Selassie-I works and the Rastafari truths
