Colorado State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #1320368 (License: Personal Use)

The Colorado state flag consists of three horizontal stripes-blue, white, and blue-with a large red letter “C” centered over them, enclosing a golden disk symbolizing the sun. Adopted in 1911, the design reflects the state’s natural beauty: blue for the sky, white for snow-capped mountains, red for the earth, and gold for the abundant sunshine. Its striking simplicity and vibrant colors make it one of the most recognizable state flags in the U.S.
