In present day Ghana, Kente is worn for special events such as weddings, graduations, etc.
The colours incorporated into the Kente-inspired design include:
Black: represents spiritual power and maturity
Yellow: represents royalty and prosperity
Green: represents renewal, growth and harvest
Red: represents lifeblood, passion and strength
