The national flag of Saint Lucia was first adopted in 1967 and was designed by Dunstan St. Omer, a Saint Lucian artist. The flag is composed of a light blue background which is representative of the sky that covers Saint Lucia, as well as the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean that surround the island of Saint Lucia. In the centre is a composition of triangles, made up of three different colours. The yellow triangle at the front portrays the sunshine that often covers the island, and the black triangle behind depicts the famous Pitons that are in the southern area of Saint Lucia. The black also represents the coloured residents of the island, while the white represents the white residents of the island. Together they symbolise the unity between all members of the population, no matter their ethnicity.The national flag of Saint Lucia was first adopted in 1967 and was designed by Dunstan St. Omer, a Saint Lucian artist.
