I found this in Wikipedia.

Single triangles
  • Red triangle---political prisoners: liberals, communists, trade unionists, royalists, social democrats and socialists, Freemasons, anarchists.
  • Green triangle--- "professional criminals" (convicts, often Kapos, serving in exchange for reduced sentences or parole).
  • Blue triangle---foreign forced laborers, emigrants.
  • Pink triangle---sexual offenders, mostly homosexual men but rarely rapists, bestiality, and pedophiles.[2]
  • Purple triangle--- Bible Students, a term taken from a name of, and primarily referring to, Jehovah's Witnesses, though a very small number of pacifists and members of other religious organizations were also imprisoned under this classification
  • Black triangle---people who were deemed "asocial elements" and "work shy" including
    • Roma (Gypsies), who were later assigned a brown triangle
    • The mentally ill
    • Alcoholics
    • Vagrants and beggars
    • Pacifists
    • Conscription resisters
    • Prostitutes[3][4][dead link]
    • Some anarchists
    • Drug addicts
    • Lesbians
  • Brown triangle---Roma (Gypsies) (previously wore the black triangle).[5]
  • Un-inverted red triangle---an enemy POW, spy or a deserter.

People who wore the green and pink triangles were convicted in criminal courts and may have been transferred to the criminal prison systems after the camps were liberated.
