The Flag

Above is a flag I got from the official web-page of the Department of San Andres and Providencia  at <www.sanandres.net>.

IMHO, the saltire flag is clearly related to the main island's name.

I manage <www.sanandres.net> & <www.sanandres.com>. I have lived on the island for 30 years and the petrolleum green you describe (see Reported Wrong Flags) as the official flag is wrong... the color is wrong... and the black lines is also wrong..  the official flag is the one you find on our site.... there is another version with the CoA over the cross whre the white lines meet and much bigger.
