Meaning & history of the Sweden flag
Sweden's flag is a golden-yellow Scandinavian cross on a blue field. The colours derive from the national coat of arms — three gold crowns on blue — and the design follows the Nordic cross pattern established by Denmark. Blue and gold are traditionally read as loyalty, truth and generosity. The flag's design dates back to at least the 16th century.
