Flags with blue and orange and other colors2
Which countries have orange and blue flags?
The Marshall Islands has the clearest orange and blue design. The flag is blue, with a white star in the upper corner and two diagonal rays that widen toward the fly, the upper one orange and the lower one white. The diagonal band marks the equator, and its white and orange parts represent the Ratak (sunrise) and Ralik (sunset) island chains.
Andorra is the second flag on the list. Its field is three vertical bands of blue, yellow and red, the same as Romania, Chad and Moldova, but the center carries a coat of arms. That coat of arms has red and gold details, which our color data counts as orange.
If the flag is a plain blue field with diagonal stripes, it is the Marshall Islands. If it has vertical stripes and a crest, it is Andorra.
What do orange and blue mean on these flags?
On the Marshall Islands flag, blue represents the Pacific Ocean, orange for courage and white for peace. The star has 24 points, one for each electoral district, and four of them are elongated to stand for the cultural centers of Majuro, Jaluit, Wotje and Ebeye. The flag was adopted in 1979, when the islands gained self-government.
Andorra's design is related to the flags of France, Catalonia and Foix, the lands historically linked with the country, and the blue stripe is said to represent France. The design is close to those of Romania and Chad, so the coat of arms matters when telling them apart.
Orange is rare on flags because it is hard to separate from red or yellow at a distance. Where it appears, it is usually a deliberate choice, as in Ireland, India or Niger. Blue and orange together are almost unique to the Marshall Islands.
