These factors include religious (宗教的), geographical, historical or cultural ones. Some countries try to fit in with nations or political groups they’d like to join. Governments can choose the overall design and colour for their passports from one of the four basic colors: red, blue, green, or black.        Red Passports        Red, the most common passport colour, not only has religious meanings, but also may have some connections with a country’s history or politics. Countries in Northern Europe generally hold red passports.        Blue Passports        The second most common passport colour is blue. Traditionally, the colour blue is meant to represent the “New World” nations in North and South America, and Oceania (大洋洲). The U.S. passport has been blue since 1976.        Green Passports Green is the most common colour of choice for Arab countries. Considered as a sign of nature and life, it is of great importance for Arabian religions. The citizens of several West African countries also have travel documents that have different shades of green, which means they belong to the Economic Community of West African States.        Black Passports       Black passports are not as common as brighter colors, though dark shades tend to make a document look more official. Only 10 countries have black passports, all unconnected with geography or religion. New Zealand’s passport is black since it’s the country’s national colour. In all, the reasons why passports in different colors often have important and deep meanings to each government.
