The color of the beads usually don’t matter. If the colors are not used for aesthetic purposes they usually represent something as a reminder to pray for. Such as Fulton Sheen’s World Mission Rosary
Each color on the Rosary represents a different area where the Church continues its mission of evangelization:
- Green: for the forests and grasslands of Africa.
- Blue: for the ocean surrounding the Islands of the Pacific.
- White: symbolizing Europe, the seat of the Holy Father, shepherd of the world..
- Red: calling to mind the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the Americas.
- Yellow: the morning light of the East, for Asia.
