Meaning of the Bandera Nacional
Originally the colors were for religion, independence and union; to see more click here: Imperial Army of the Three Guarantees.

Currently, due the secularism adopted since the 1857 Liberal Constitution during the government of Ignacio Comonfort reinforced by the Leyes de Reforma published in 1859-1860 by Liberal President Benito Juarez Garcia, colors of the National Flag had been acquired a new meaning:

Green for hope;
White for unity, purity, and honesty; and
Red for parenthood and the blood of national heroes.
(Marc Junele Hoyos, 29 Apr 1998)

Other meaning could be:

Green for the territory (resources, mountains, rivers, etc);
White for the people (ethnicity, believes, mixture, honesty, unity, purty); and
Red for the struggles for remaining the national independence and freedom.
Juan Manuel Gabino Villascan, October 4, 2001.
