The Lithuanian flag is a horizontal tricolour of yellow, green, and red. The yellow represents the golden fields of wheat and the sun, the green stands for the forests and countryside, and the red symbolizes the blood shed for the nation. The flag was first adopted in 1918 and restored after independence from the Soviet Union in 1990.
Lithuania's flag colors are sometimes associated with the country's traditional folk art, where yellow, green, and red are dominant in woven textiles.
Adopted: 1918
