Hong Kong Flag by Tik Kei

A flag symbolizing Hong Kong.

The deep blue represents Hong Kong's traditional color, carrying on the legacy from the British colonial era. It also signifies Hong Kong as a deep-water port, a maritime city, and reflects the seafaring heritage of Hongkongers.

The yellow represents the "yellow ribbons" of the Umbrella Movement and the Anti-Extradition protests, symbolizing free will and democratic values. Its central placement signifies that these principles are at the core of Hong Kong's identity and that only freedom and democracy can balance the interests of all parties.

The black represents the rule of law, and its position at the base of the flag symbolizes that the rule of law is the foundation of Hong Kong's freedom and democracy—it is the cornerstone of the city.
