Fleur-de-Lis Symbol - Mardi Gras Colors and Cultural Significance #166319 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized fleur-de-lis features a central purple petal, flanked by two curved yellow petals, with a green horizontal bar across the stem and a small purple tip below. The design evokes the traditional Mardi Gras color scheme established in 1872, where purple signifies justice, green represents faith, and gold (often rendered as yellow in digital graphics) stands for power. The bold contrast against the black background enhances its symbolic prominence and visual impact.
