The flag features the color blue which represents justice, loyalty, truth, vigilance, and perseverance. The yellow color on the cross is used to symbolize generosity.

It was first used as the coat of arms representing King Valdemar IV Atterdag. The flag colors have changed and evolved over time but the meaning is the same throughout.

The colors actually aren't intended to stand for anything in particular, but are simply there to provide a striking contrast. However, one common interpretation is that blue represents Sweden's four former provinces (besides yellow or gold), and yellow/gold symbolizes generosity.
