Through the influence of other cultures and with the availability of synthetic dyes, a wider colour palette is now available in the materials that Tokelau people use for clothing and crafts, among other things. In agànuku Tokelau, blue is associated with the sea, green with plants and plantations, and yellow with the sun.
