A rainbow masquerade mask can have a variety of meanings depending on the context in which it is worn. In general, a rainbow is often associated with diversity, inclusivity, and acceptance.

2. Pattern

A patterned masquerade mask can have a variety of meanings depending on the specific pattern and design used. A geometric patterned mask, for example, can evoke feelings of order and symmetry.

Finally, a chicken mask is never worn to a masquerade event. If you wear one of these masks to a masquerade party, it will symbolize... nothing. Other than a chicken, of course.
