I have always linked it to the seven chakra levels of prana magic (of course to the rainbow colours, too). Root - red - Life, grounded; Sacral - orange- Sexuality; Solar plexus - yellow - Intention, willpower; Heart - green - Growth, flourishing but also pink for Unconditional love; Throat - turquoise - Communication; Third Eye - indigo - Intuition, creativity, imagination; Crown - violet, purple - Spirituality, connection to the universe

I suspect Mr. Baker would be on board for those interpretations too. He seemed very open-minded and spiritual. Cheers, Ray!

Thanks, Clint, for reminding us that it takes a lot of balls to do what is needed, and thankfully there was someone who took the bull by the horns and did something for all of us in this LGBTQ+ community!

Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed. Gilbert Baker is one of my favorites. Flags seem so simple, but symbolize so much more. Cheers and Happy Pride! 🌈
