The song I believe reflects the pain and confusion Boy George felt and experienced because he was in love with a man who did not wish to be open about their relationship.Boy George was in a relationship with his drummer Jon, but Jon wanted to keep their relationship hidden. The colours red, gold and green are often found on many African flags,they represent the struggle (Red-blood- the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation....Green-The natural beauty of Africa) of people who were fighting for equality, which ties in with the whole meaning of Karma Chameleon.Boy George was fighting to be treated as an equal in his relationship and his life, hence the use of the colours red, gold and green.

If you watch other Culture Club Music Videos (Boy George is the lead singer) they often have African/African Americans in them, so I believe that Boy George uses the struggle for equality of the African/African American people as a way of getting the message across about equality for everyone, especially about being able to be openly accepted as a gay male.
