Flag comparisons
The yellow band dominates the design
Colombia’s yellow band occupies half the flag, while blue and red share the lower half. The foreign ministry links yellow with the country’s wealth, blue with its two ocean coasts and red with the blood of independence heroes.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
