Colorado State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #1820474 (License: Personal Use)

The Colorado state flag consists of three horizontal stripes-top and bottom navy blue, middle white-with a large red letter “C” superimposed over the center, enclosing a golden disk representing the sun. Designed by Andrew Carlisle Carson and officially adopted in 1911, the colors symbolize the state’s geography: blue for the sky, white for snow-capped mountains, red for the earth, and gold for the abundant sunshine. Its simple yet powerful design makes it one of the most recognizable U.S. state flags.
