Fun Fact: Beginning in 1872, the bead's colors were originally the Royal colors-purple for justice, gold for power and green for faith-with the intention of tossing the color bead to the person who exhibits the color's meaning. The beads were originally made of glass, which weren't exactly ideal for tossing around at people! The beads becoming plastic was when throwing them truly became a tradition of New Orleans' annual Mardi Gras celebration.
