Our colors can be traced back to the first four badges purchased in Boston in the late fall of 1911. Grapes and olives were represented in purple and green enamel, and the badge itself was made of gold.

Cole's ritual described the significance of the items themselves (the grapes and olives), while the meanings of just the colors were attributed later, probably by Mason.
