The background is made up of two main colors - gold and aquamarine.The Bahamas flag is among the few national flags that have an approximate 1:2 ratio. Gold and aquamarine are the major colors of the flag.
These two colors are represented in three flat stripes - there are two strips of aquamarine that are punctuated by a golden line. All the three color bands are of equal dimensions.
