Facts about the flag of Aruba
Date adopted: 18 March 1976
Symbolism: The blue field symbolizes the sky and the sea surrounding Aruba. The two narrow yellow stripes represent the island's free and separate position in the Caribbean. The red star represents the island itself, with its red soil and white beaches.
- Pantone colours: Process Cyan, Yellow, White, Red
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Aruba is typically hung with the red star in the upper hoist-side corner and the two narrow horizontal yellow stripes near the bottom, ensuring the star is in the top-left when displayed vertically or horizontally.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the red star with a sun symbol or misplacing the yellow stripes, which should be parallel and near the bottom of the flag.
