The Colorado flag was designed by Andrew Carlisle Carson in 1911 and adopted by the Colorado General Assembly on June 5 of the same year.
The blue is meant to represent the skies, the gold stands for the abundant sunshine the state enjoys, the white represents the snow-capped mountains, and the red represents the ruddy earth.
