Johor's Heritage Through Colors
Inspired by the state of Johor
Nazhatulshima N., Independent Artist
Drawn from the colors of the Johor flag, the navy blue represents the state and the vast universe, while red adds a dash of valor and bravery from its heroic warriors.
The
patriotic palette in green and brown celebrates Johor as Malaysia's renowned black pepper producer. The outline of Gunung Ledang, its highest mountain, boasts the state's natural
beauty and its pineapple-growing prowess.
Together, these colors and images create a lively homage to Johor's rich heritage and agricultural charm.
