Colorado – The Centennial State
The flag of the state of Colorado consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width; the top and bottom stripes are blue, and the middle stripe white. On top of these stripes sits a circular red “C”, filled with a golden disk. The blue is meant to represent the skies, the gold stands for the gold rush in the late 19th century, the white represents the snowcapped mountains, and the red represents the ruddy earth.
