Colorado - COLORADO LEGENDSThe official state flag of Colorado was adopted on June 5, 1911. It was designed by Andrew Carlisle Johnson in 1911.  The white in the flag symbolizes Colorado's snowcapped mountains, the blue symbolizes clear blue skies, the red symbolizes the reddish soil, and the golden yellow represents the Sun. Attached to the flag is a cord of gold and silver, intertwined with gold and silver tassels.
