Colorado State Flag
This Centennial State’s flag consists of three horizontal stripes – the top and bottom stripes are blue and the middle stripe is white. There is a gold disk with a red “C” around it; the disk is the same size as the middle stripe. The Colorado flag was designed in 1911 by Andrew Carlisle Johnson and adopted on June 5th.
The exact shade of the red and blue was chosen in 1929 – it is the same as the U.S. flag. The blue represents the skies, the gold – the sun, the white – the snowy mountains and the red – the earth.
