[post_page_title]”Show your true colors”[/post_page_title]
To reveal one’s true colors is to reveal one’s true character after putting up a fraudulent front. This phrase originated from a pirates’ trick – it was a common deception of pirates to fly a friendly flag on their ship to deceive potential victims and get in closer range to passing ships without raising suspicion.
Only once the pirates came into close quarters with their victims would they unfurl their signature pirate flags and reveal their true colors. By then, of course, it would be far too late for the merchant ships to do anything about it.
