Colors
The colors for some clubs can consist of a single, one-piece logo, while other clubs may have a three- (or more) piece logo and are often referred to as plaques. They are commonly replicated in a metal such as aluminum or steel and are polished and or chromed and detailed with paint and are displayed in the rear window of the lowrider attached by brackets. This displays the vehicle and owners club affiliation.
The club plaque in any form always remain property of the club itself, not the member, and only members are allowed to wear the clubs colors. A member closely guards his colors. Allowing ones colors to fall into the hands of an outsider is an act of disgrace and may result in loss of membership in a club, or worse.

Famous quotes containing the word colors:
“Hoot how the inhuman colors fell
Into place beside her, where she was,
Like human conciliations, more like
A profounder reconciling, an act,
An affirmation free from doubt.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“We may say that feelings have two kinds of intensity. One is the intensity of the feeling itself, by which loud sounds are distinguished from faint ones, luminous colors from dark ones, highly chromatic colors from almost neutral tints, etc. The other is the intensity of consciousness that lays hold of the feeling, which makes the ticking of a watch actually heard infinitely more vivid than a cannon shot remembered to have been heard a few minutes ago.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.”
—Claude Monet (1840–1926)
