what do the colors mean on the flag of Spain?
they represent one river of gold ( all the gold we took from south america ) and two rivers of blood , that represent all the wars we fought during that period around the world to become the biggest empire of the time .
They represent the death of one of Roger de Lauria(my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather). He figted against French and Muslims but he was captured and wounded. he touched his wound with 4 fingers and cleand the with a yellow thing. the flag of
Aragon is yellow with 4 red lines, from there come the colors of
Spain

Although I'm not Spanish, The colours of the Spanish flag may refer to the colours of Castille or they could've been chosen because they are the most common colours used in the Spanish Kingdoms. But these are only guesses. Imperator Honorius 06:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
What does the fleur-de-lis in the middle of the coat of arms on the flag stand for? Does it stand for when Aragon was held by the French as the Spanish Mark?
Imperator Honorius 06:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
It´s after the House of Bourbon--

Is there any explanation why it's apparently traditional for the coat of arms or whatever insignia to be off center? — An gr 06:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, to be visible with low winds. -- Xareu bs 10:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
While using the flag with the bull here may be interesting, I think that it should be in a different gallery, maybe under a new "Trivia" section, because it just doesn't fit well in a gallery where all flags are official. Mountolive | Talk 23:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

hi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.212.132.157 ( talk) 17:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I have changed the order in which the flags of Spain were arranged on the infobox because it was wrong. The flag of Spain is defined on Spanish constitution as divided into three horizontal stripes: red, yellow and red, the yellow stripe being twice the size of each red stripe, without any mention to the coat of arms.
The law regulating the flag says the same but stands too that "En la franja amarilla se podrá incorporar, en la forma que reglamentariamente se señale, el escudo de España."(on the yellow stripes may be incorporated, on the way the regulations will state, the coat of arms of Spain). And the law continues: El escudo de España figurará, en todo caso, en las banderas a que se refieren los apartados uno, dos, tres y cuatro del artículo siguiente. (That is to say that the State and war flags and ensigns must be charged with the Spanish coat of arms, not the rest).
More: The only national regulations currently on force about flags and banners in Spain is the Royal decree 1511/1977, of January 22, (por el que se aprueba el Reglamento de Banderas y Estandartes,Guiones, Insignias y Distintivos).
That Royal decree has been modified only in 1981 (on their rules about the description of the coat of arms), and 2001 by adding a new rule about the Prince of Asturias Standards, and establihes The following:
Rule number 1: "Bandera Nacional: La bandera nacional es la compuesta por tres franjas horizontales, roja, gualda y roja, la gualda de doble anchura que las rojas." (the national flag consists of three horizontal stripes: red, yellow and red, the yellow stripe being twice the size of each red stripe), and includes the flag design, without the coat of arms. Uses: GENERAL.
Rule number 3: "Bandera nacional con Escudo de España: La bandera nacional con el escudo de España es rectangular, con tres listas normales a la vaina, y escudo en ambas caras." Uses: Buques de guerra, arsenales, plazas marítimas, sus castillos y fortalezas, así como otros cualesquiera de las costas, aeródromos, campamentos, cuarteles y demás dependencias militares. Ministerios y edificios de la Administración del Estado, incluyendo los situados en el extranjero que gocen de la extraterritorialidad. (I daren't translate it, sorry).
I think the Constitution, the Law and the regulations are enough clear to state that the flag of Spain is the one without the coat of arms, and the other one though it is not forbidden for civilian uses, it is established only for institutional uses.
So, if somebody finds the law where it is established that the flag of Spain must wear the coat of arms, please bring it here. -- Ignacio ( talk) 09:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, in the book "Banderas de España" by Calvo and Grávalos [1], The flag WITH coat is under this title: "Bandera de Endrizar" (literally to be flown on a flagpole). It does also explain the article in the constitution and the royal decree. It is funny to mention that there is not a single place in the book where the flag WITHOUT coat appears (apart the merchant one). This explanation is not much different from what we have already said. The clue would be if we can call "flag" a version (the one without coat) which cannot officially be flown... This is the only information I was able to find... -- MauritiusXXVII (Aut Doce, Aut Disce, Aut Discede!) 08:25, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
With the explanations given above, I don't understand why the BBC and others are using the Spanish flag with Coat of Arms for the Spanish football team in the world cup. Should it not be the flag, plain? Drg40 ( talk) 10:29, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't trivia sections be avoided in articles as much as possible? I couldn't help but to notice this when I first looked at the article. It seems to be mostly lacking in citations anyway, with the exception of one of the facts on the list, so I strongly question the section's inclusion in the text. Therefore, I decided to tag it for further discussion. American Imperialist ( talk) 13:14, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I can't help notice that many (most) of the flag images used on this page are not using the official colours stated on this page. i.e. "Spain flag construction sheet.svg" is using #ffc400 and #c60b1e at the time of this writing, which is obviously wrong. the difference can be clearly seen since it is positioned next to the table of correct values. seems very strange to me since the correct values are right there, and makes me wonder how many of the other colours are also wrong. -- abfackeln ( talk) 19:14, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
The text points out that the yachting ensign dates from 1945. It's from 1875. By Royal Order of 10 August 1875, to be precise.
It sounds likely, but the truth is that Charles III's 1785 decree says nothing about that. The king asked for a high-visibility ensign and didn't mentioned that the design should be based on historical Castilian and Aragonese flags. Charles III might have chosen a blue and yellow design or a red and white one, for instance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 ( talk) 11:57, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I just reverted an edit which I believe was made in good faith, suggesting that the flag of spain is a bicolour flag, not a tricolour. I'm pretty confident that the three lines makes it a tricolour, regardless of the number of colours that are used - am I correct here? viljo talk 10:43, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
I recently updated the (raster-containing) SVG of the civil flag (without crest) and used the hex colours specified in the article. Swiftly, that got reverted by the person who had uploaded the previous SVG, claiming that the colours were incorrect. None of the existing flags appear to use the hex colours that are specified in both the English and Spanish articles.
Which can we conclude: that the hex colours specified in the articles are incorrect, or we need to perform some wholesale fixes of the flag imagery? Or perhaps some pseudo-state?

The text of this articles states, in one place (as of the date and time I'm typing this) that the stones of bricks in the castles of Castille are joined together with a mortar, cement, or grout that is black in color. Yet those outlines don't appear to be black in at least some of the illustrations. They look like just a darker shade of yellow. Can someone please go through and recolor and make sure they're all black or, otherwise, add text that explains the variations and cite where and when some blazons say "masoned sable" and other's say something else? 2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 ( talk) 05:35, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
