The flag of Saint Lucia consists of a cerulean blue field with a gold isosceles triangle below a black arrowhead; the widths of the shafts on the arrowhead and triangle are identical. The blue represents the Caribbean Sea, and the triangles symbolize the island's famous twin Pitons, the volcanic cones that are a symbol of Saint Lucia. The gold represents sunshine and prosperity, while black and white signify the cultural influences of both African and European heritage.
