Best Answer

Red Tiger = fire
Yellow tiger = the sun and the center of all things
White Tiger = the earth, of earthly things (Chinese folklore states that this white tiger protected the tombs and graves of the dead) Note: not to be confused with the White Tiger on the Chinese Compass, which represents the west and the season Fall
Black Tiger = winter, the end of things
