  The flag has the proportions 1:2, with the provincial shield of arms in the centre of an ultramarine blue background. The shield's height is ​⁷⁄₁₁ that of the flag's height.
  The provincial colours, adopted in 1984, are blue and gold; they are also referred to as "Alberta blue" and "Alberta gold", appearing on the flag/shield in the sky/background and wheat background, respectively.
