Passport is one of the mandatory documents when someone wants to travel abroad. Apparently the color of passport covers varies by country, there are red, blue, green and black passports.

So what does each of these colors mean?

The difference in color on the passport in the countries of the world is, of course, not without reason. Each color chosen has its own meaning representing each country.

Generally, passports are used in 4 colors, namely red, blue, green and black. A passport color variant itself can consist of different color gradations.

In fact, there are no specific rules regarding color selection in passports. However, the color of passports in several countries is chosen based on various factors, starting with the geographical conditions of a country, the background of the majority religion, as well as the political conditions of each country.

However, the color of this cover cannot be used as the only parameter to measure the strength of each country’s passport.

For example, US and Syrian passports are both blue. Although the color is the same, the Syrian passport is not as strong as the US passport as it can only be used to enter 32 countries without a visa, while the US passport allows use in 185 countries.
