Alice Paul, switched green to gold c. 1913 utilizing these colors for her Congressional Union and upon forming the National Women's Party (NWP) the colors representing loyalty, purity and life.

A Dec, 1913 issued of The Suffragist noted "Purple is the color of loyalty, constancy to purpose, unswerving steadfastness to a cause. White, the emblem of purity, symbolizes the quality of our purpose; and gold, the color of light and life, is as the torch that guides our purpose, pure and unswerving."
