The National Flag of the Republic of Komi is a square cloth consisting of three horizontal stripes combined in the following order: blue (the upper), green (the middle), white (the lower). Each of them is one third of the flag width. The flag width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
The colour scheme of the flag corresponds to the specific geographical characteristics and natural wealth of the Republic of Komi. The blue colour symbolizes Celestial Origin, greatness and vastness of the northern tracts. The green stripe symbolizes hope and wealth. It associates with a boundless parma (Komi taiga) that is the major wealth of the Republic of Komi and the main habitat area of Komi people. The white stripe incarnates the snow whiteness and purity, virginity and severity of the northern nature beauty. It also indicates the northern location of the Republic of Komi. At the same time the white colour may be rendered as a symbol of equality of the nations living in the Republic of Komi and unity of their cultures.
