The colours of the flag were intended to symbolize the following: the yellow colour is the national colour and stands for the sun, but also for optimism and pleasure, the green stands for hope and the white stands for a new beginning.
The yellow stripes symbolize the Spanish speaking departments, while the green stripes symbolize the Portuguese speaking departments. The white triangle is a symbol for the unity between the Spanish and the Portuguese part of the country. The symbol of the sun is an old Amadoran symbol that represents the origins of the country (the former Kingdom of Amadora and the city of Sanremo have played an important role in the history of San Remo).
