When Radiant Heart Studios began printing prayer flags back in the 1970's, it was immediately apparent that keeping track of and printing all the possible combinations of traditional prayer flag colors, dozens of prayer flags designs in various styles and in many different sizes could be overwhelming.
There are 5 traditional colors that correspond to the 5 elements:
Blue - Space
White - Air
Red - Fire
Green - Water
Yellow - Earth
To simplify things a bit I made the decision to print one design for each color. I chose one design from each of the most popular prayer flag categories, assigned it to one color and printed it in a several styles and sizes.
The 5 Traditional Colors corresponding to 5 of the major categories:
Blue - Health and Longevity
White - Purification - Vajrasattva
Red - Wish Fulfilling Prayer - Guru Rinpoche
Green - Praise to the 21 Taras
Yellow - Victory - Wind Horse
