What Do the Colors on the Colorado State Flag Mean?

Comments

Rojo is red, colorado (literally “colored”) is a red that goes towards purple (also used for blushing). Then you have tinto, as in vino tinto (red wine) or the famous Río Tinto mines in Southern Spain, where the river is colored red from the iron in the rock (tinto is an old fashioned way of saying tintado, meaning “tainted”).
