Color:

The Indonesian flag consists of two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and white.

The origins of the Indonesian flag can be traced to the flag of the Majapahit Empire of the 13th century.� The Majapahit flag had nine stripes of red and white.

In 1922 Indonesian students in Leiden, the Netherlands, adopted a flag red over white with a bull in the centre for their association. The flag, without the bull, was adopted by the Indonesian nationalist movement at the second Youth Congress in Jakarta in 1928.�

The Sang Saka or Merah Putih (which means red-white), as it is known, became the official national flag at the Declaration of Independence on 17 August 1945.� Sukarno's wife, Fatmawati, made a flag for the ceremony by hand sewing two pieces of coloured cloth together and hoisting it on a bamboo staff.

The red in the flag represents the human blood spent in the revolution, the white stands for purity and truth.
