Flag of Solomon Islands color green
The flag of Solomon Islands consists of a thin yellow diagonal stripe divided diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner, with a blue upper triangle and green lower triangle, and the canton charged with five white stars.  Adopted in 1977 to replace the British Blue Ensign defaced with the arms of the protectorate, it has been the flag of Solomon Islands since 18 November of that year, eight months before the country gained independence.  Although the number of provinces has since increased, the number of stars on the flag that originally represented them remained unchanged.Design
Symbolism
The colours and symbols of the flag have cultural, political, and regional meanings.  The blue evokes the water, as well as its significance to the country in the form of rivers, rain, and the Pacific Ocean.  The green alludes to the land, along with the trees and crops that grow on it.  The yellow epitomizes the sun and its rays separating the land and the ocean.The five stars are arranged in three offset rows at the canton, in the shape of the letter X.  At first, these were meant to symbolize the provinces that the country was subdivided into at the time of independence.  Even though new provinces have since been created, the number of stars has remained unchanged.
