How did the public know what kind of play was going to be shown at the globe theatre?
There is a story that they flew different coloured flags to say what kind of play it was. However, the fact is that plays did not and do not fall so easily into those categories. As Polonius says, it could be "tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral". What colour flag would they fly for "tragical-comical-historical-pastoral"? Anyway, nobody seems to know where this coloured flag idea comes from. It may be something someone thought up in the 19th century.
What significance did color have in the theater during Shakespeare's time?
There is a legend that the colour of the flag raised over the theatre told potential customers what kind of play would be performed. The problem is that the plays did not fit neatly into categories, and they knew it. Shakespeare mocks the categorization of plays with Polonius's line "the best actors in the world, either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral". There does not appear to be any contemporaneous account on which the coloured flag legend is based, and it is likely a later invention. Apart from that, the costumes used were very colourful, but that did not usually have significance, unless the characters were wearing black as a sign of mourning (as Hamlet does, and Lady Anne in Richard III).

What were William Shakespeare's pastoral?
Pastoral plays were plays which idealized the lives of shepherds. Marlowe's famous poem, "The Passionate Shepherd to his love" was a pastoral poem. This was a literary fad in Elizabethan England. The closest Shakespeare came to a pastoral play is As You Like It, with its setting in the forest and characters like Audrey, Corin, Phoebe and Silvius.
When was the play as you like it first performed?
"As You Like It," a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, is believed to have been first performed around 1599 or 1600. The exact date is not definitively known, but it is thought to have been staged at the Globe Theatre in London. The play was published in a quarto in 1623, which further confirms its existence during that period.
What makes 'As You Like It' a romantic pastoral comedy?
It is romantic because it is about the triumph of love over adversity. It is pastoral because it is set in the countryside. It is a comedy because it is funny and because it all comes out right in the end (unlike tragedy, where it always ends in disaster for the hero).
