The flag representing Saint Kitts-Nevis was adopted in 1983, and consists of two five point white stars on a diagonal black band, bordered in yellow, separating background colors of green (upper left triangle) and red (lower right triangle). In this instance, these Pan-African colors signify fertility (green), struggle (red), and sunshine (yellow). The people's African heritage is signified by the black band, while the two white stars symbolize hope and liberty.
