The national flag of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti lipp) is a tricolour featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue (top), black, and white. The normal size is 105 × 165 cm. In Estonian it is colloquially called the "sinimustvalge" (literally "blue-black-white"), after the colours of the bands.
There are a number of interpretations attributed to the colours of the flag. A historical interpretation of the colours has blue representing ancient freedom, truth, sky and sea, black symbolizing soil, lost independence and dark coats, and white, the promise and pursuit of a brighter future.
Another interpretation made popular by the poetry of Martin Lipp is as follows:
- blue: vaulted blue sky above the native land;
- black: attachment to the soil of the homeland as well as the fate of Estonians – for centuries black with worries;
- white: purity, hard work, and commitment
