The blue (#0F204B) color symbolizes Alaska's sky and the forget-me-not flower, while the gold (#FFB612) color represents the brightness of these stars and the richness of the territory.
Designed in 1927 by Benny Benson, the flag symbolizes Alaska's northerly location and nature. Benson's design was selected from nearly 700 entries and recognized the creativity of Alaskan children.
