In 1911, Andrew Carlisle Carson created the Colorado flag. At that time in history, there was no standardized stipulation as to what precise colors or size of the C, for Colorado, was to be within the flag. It wasn’t until March 31st, 1964 that the General Assembly modified the original 1911 legislation of color and precise size of the letter C featured on the Colorado state flag.
Colorado’s flag consists of three alternating stripes of bold color: blue, white, and blue at right angles to the staff. One-fifth of the length of the total flag rests a vibrant, bold red C, the same color as the red in the flag of the United States. Within the center of the C rests a gold circle.
The colors of the Colorado state flag embody Colorado’s natural and abundant beauty. White for the magnificent snow-topped mountain peaks, blue for the state’s breath-taking clear skies, the gold for the radiant Colorado sunshine and the red for the richness of the state’s red soil.
