Antigua and Barbuda Flag

A Caribbean Sea island country comprised of two main islands and many smaller ones, ANTIGUA and BARBUDA has a flag with five colors. Four of these colors - black, yellow, azure (light blue), and white from top to bottom - are placed within a triangular, V-shaped design. Both sides of this triangle are red; this color represents the energy of Antigua and Barbuda people, according to Vexilla Mundi. The other colors also have meaning. The yellow element surrounded by black and blue is the sun. Black represents the country's African ancestry and is a trapezoid at the top of Antigua and Barbuda's flag. Below the black trapezoid is a smaller blue trapezoid representing hope, and white is a smaller upside-down triangle shape representing the country's white sands. The flag essentially represents a beach because there is white sand with the sea in the distance, and the sun is on the horizon above the sea.
