The flag was officially adopted by the Ukrainian parliament in 1992 after the Soviet Union collapsed. Ukraine celebrates National Flag Day on August 23 since 2004. The flag's colors are technically designated "strong azure" and "yellow," but there has been controversy over the exact shade of blue. The flag is usually used in a horizontal format, although some government buildings also use vertical flags.
