About the flag of Ecuador

What it means: Yellow stands for the crops and fertile soil, blue for the ocean and clear skies, and red for the blood of heroes who died for the homeland and freedom.

Did you know? General Francisco de Miranda, who chose these colors, said they were inspired by a conversation with the German writer Goethe about primary colors.
