Meaning of each colors are
The design has undergone several revision to remove two colors for expediency and later re-add those colors when they became more widely available.
As of 2021, the most common variant consists of 6-stripes, with the colors Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet. Mr Baker referred to this version of he flag as the "Commercial Version", because it came about due to practical considerations of mass production. Specifically, the rainbow flag lost its pink stripe when Mr. Baker approached the Paramount Flag Company to begin mass-producing them, and the hot pink fabric was too rare and expensive to include. The rainbow flag lost its turquoise stripe before the 1979 Gay Freedom Day Parade, as the committee organizing the parade wanted to fly the flag in two-halves, from the light poles along both sides of Market Street, in San Francisco, so it became a six-striped flag with equal halves. - WIKIPEDIA -
