Trivia: What does the white part of the Colorado state flag represent?
The American flag

The state bird
Snow-capped mountains
The correct answer is Snow-capped mountains
So why is this answer correct? : The Colorado state flag represents Coloradans’ love for their state’s natural beauty. The flag’s original designer, Andrew Carlisle Johnson, chose the colors of the flag to represent different aspects of Colorado when he finalized the design in 1911. This resulted in the specific colors used on the flag today — blue for the beautiful Coloradan skies, white to represent the snow-capped mountains, red for the distinctively colored earth, and yellow to represent the many days of sunshine enjoyed by this state.
