Its exact origin is difficult to pinpoint, as is common with many folk traditions, but it is believed to have emerged from the oral traditions of rural communities in the early to mid-20th century. While often associated with Mexico due to its widespread popularity there, its themes and musical style also resonate with Spanish folk music. The song celebrates the vibrant beauty of the natural world, particularly during springtime, using the metaphor of 'colors' to express joy, life, and love. It gained significant international recognition and a new layer of meaning through its adoption by the Cursillo de Cristiandad movement, a Catholic evangelization program that originated in Spain in the late 1940s and spread globally.

It is frequently sung at family gatherings, community events, school functions, and religious services, particularly within Hispanic communities.

Within the Cursillo movement, 'De Colores' became an anthem, symbolizing the joy and spiritual renewal experienced by participants. The 'colors' in this context represent the diverse graces and blessings of God, and the song serves as a reminder of the vibrant life found in faith. It is often sung with great enthusiasm, accompanied by clapping and sometimes simple dance movements, fostering a strong sense of fellowship. The performance style of 'De Colores' is typically communal and informal. It can be sung a cappella by a group, or accompanied by simple folk instruments such as acoustic guitars, requintos, vihuelas, or accordions.

While there isn't a strict performance tradition, the emphasis is always on collective singing and shared joy. It's a song that encourages everyone to join in, regardless of musical skill, making it a powerful tool for community building and celebration. Today, 'De Colores' continues to be a vibrant part of the cultural tapestry of Spanish-speaking countries and communities worldwide.
