The Cook Islands is Royal Blue overall with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant and a large circle of 15 white five-pointed stars (one for each of the islands) centered in the outer half of the flag which was introduced on 4 August 1979.
And it shall mean -
* "Blue - is the colour most expressive of our Nation, it is representative of the vast area of the Pacific Ocean in which the islands of the Cook Islands are scattered. Blue also depicts the peaceful nature of the inhabitants of our islands.
* "Union Jack - indicates our historical association with and membership of the British Commonwealth.
* "The 15 white stars - represent the 15 islands of the group."
