The horizontal stripes (frae top tae bottom) o yellow, blue an red tricolour hae a ration o 2:1:1. It - thegither wi that o Ecuador, an aa derived frae the Banner o Gran Colombie - is different frae maist ither tricolour banners, either vertical or horizontal, in haein strips which are no equal in size. (Venezuela, whose banner is an aa derived frae the same source, optit for a mair conventional tricolour wi equal strips).
The offeecial colours hae no yet been established bi law. Housomeivver, it is recommendit tae uise the follaein:
| Scheme | Yellow | Blue | Red |

According to the current interpretation, the colours signify:
- Yellow: represents aw the gold foond in the Colombian land.
- Blue: represents the seas on Colombie's shores.
- Red: represents the blood spilled on the battlegrunds bi the heroes who gained Colombie's freedom.
Ither variations on the interpretation o the colours exist, such as, "Yellow, for the sun an land o the fowk. Blue, for the water that haulds up the fowk an finally, Red, for the blood shed bi the fowk who fought for the independence o Colombie."
