The Ecuadorian flag has three horizontal bands of yellow (top, double width), blue, and red with the coat of arms superimposed at the center of the flag; similar to the flag of Colombia, which is shorter and does not bear a coat of arms. The color red stands for the blood shed by the soldiers and martyrs of the independence battles. The color blue represents the color of the sea and sky. The color yellow symbolizes the abundance and fertility of the crops and land.
