Different colors in the mast represent different characteristics of the figures.
The red stands for the loyalty and upright. The black means the figure is a serious person or it is a ghost figure. The white represent the bad faith and always suspicious on other people. The blue stands for justice. The golden face is always in the character of gods. The green face means the figure is brave, but sometimes rash.
