The Blue Ensign reflects Anguilla's status as a British Overseas Territory. The coat of arms features three orange dolphins leaping over a turquoise sea, representing the island's marine environment and resilience.
History
Anguilla's current Blue Ensign with the dolphin arms was officially granted and adopted in 1990, replacing earlier unofficial flags used after the island separated from Saint Kitts and Nevis in 1971 and reaffirmed ties with Britain.
Construction
A 1:2 ratio British Blue Ensign: a blue field with the Union Jack in the canton and the Anguilla coat of arms (three orange dolphins on turquoise water) in the fly.
Color Meanings
blue: The Caribbean Sea surrounding the island
orange: Endurance and vitality of the Anguillian people
turquoise: The waters and coral reefs of the territory
