Inspired by the distinct colors of
                                                    particular regions of Nusantara. Colors
                                                    in cultures of Nusantara symbolize
                                                    various things, from cosmology to
                                                    social ranks. In Minang, for instance,
                                                    three main colors are called “Marawa”,
                                                    in which each symbolizes a certain
                                                    region. In Balinese traditional custom,
                                                    colors can be associated with a certain
                                                    caste in society. Thus, PALA intends to

                                                    present these diversity and cultural
                                                    treasure, in hopes that they will become
                                                    a local identity that draws global
                                                    attention.
                                                    Through these articles, Pusaka Varna
                                                    represents two regions in Nusantara,
                                                    namely Java and Toraja, symbolized in
                                                    Cokelat (brown) and Merah (red),  for
                                                    the reason that Java is famous for its
                                                    Sogan Batik that is dominated by
                                                    brown color, and Toraja has a positive
                                                    meaning for red color, as the symbol of
                                                    life.
