Many cultures assign specific connotations and symbolism to color, and Mando society is no different. Traviss has presented us with a number of canon meanings, and through these and some real world symbolism, Joha'miitbin has extrapolated meaning for other colors.
For example: black in canon has positive connotations, therefore so do darker colors. Conversely, white has negative connotations in many real cultures, therefore so do lighter colors.
Another example: loyalty + duty = protection (blue + green = teal)
