 The
Colorado State Flag was designed by Andrew Carlisle Carson and
adopted by the Colorado General Assembly on June 5, 1911. The
Colorado State flag specifications seemed clear enough when
adopted...
The Colorado State Flag field is comprised
of three alternate stripes, the two outer stripes colored blue
and the middle stripe white. At one fifth the length of the
Colorado State flag from the staff end is the letter "C". The "C" is red. The diameter of the "C" is two
thirds the width of the Colorado State flag.
The center of the letter "C" on the Colorado State
Flag, is filled with the color gold. It
was also stipulated that the Colorado State flag should have
an attached cord of gold and silver intertwined with gold and
silver tassels.
It seems that certain
specifications for the Colorado State flag were not clear and
some controversy arose over the precise shades of red and blue
to be used in the Colorado State flag. This issue was resolved, when it
was stipulated that the red an blue in the Colorado State
flag were to be the same as the national flag.
Again controversy
developed over the Colorado State flag.
This time the issue was the size of the "C" on the
Colorado State Flag. The
General Assembly addressed this on March 31, 1964, revising
the 1911 legislation to stipulate the diameter of the letter
"C" on the Colorado State Flag, and its distance from the staff.
The colors used in the
Colorado State Flag represent environmental features of the
state. The gold represents the abundant sunshine enjoyed by
the state. The blue symbolizes the clear blue skies of
Colorado. White represents the snow capped mountains of the
state and red represents the color of much of the state's
soil. |
