Which color is connected to steadfastness?

• A. Blue
• B. Green
• C. Yellow
• D. Red

Answer: (C)

In the Order of the Eastern Star, colors symbolize virtuous qualities tied to the heroines, so steady, reliable traits are given a dedicated hue. Steadfastness is represented by the color yellow because it embodies a constant, enduring light—an unshakable resolve to stay the course even through difficulties. Esther’s story is one of unwavering courage and perseverance in the face of danger for a greater good, and yellow visually reinforces that constancy and determination.

Other colors in this symbolism tradition align with different virtues—blue often stands for fidelity or loyalty, white for purity or truth, green for growth or hope, and red for zeal or fervor. So the color linked to steadfastness is yellow.
