Colorado Flag

The flag of Colorado contains three equal-sized horizontal-stripes, with the top and bottom stripes being blue and the middle stripe being white. On top of the stripes a Circular red C is overlaid, filled with a golden disc.

Blue represents the skies
Gold represents the sun
White represents the snowcapped mountains
Red represents the earth

Colorado's flag was designed by Andrew Carlisle Johnson in 1911 and adopted by the state's General Assembly on June 5th of that same year. The original legislation did not however specify the exact shades of blue or red, or the size of the C, which led to some variations in the flag. Subsequent legislation in 1929 and 1964, respectively specified that the blue and red short be the same colors as on the flag of the United States, and that the diameter of the gold disc should equal that of the center stripe.
