Brazil Flag Colors, Meaning, & History
The Brazil flag, adopted on November 19, 1889, shortly after the country became a republic, is deeply symbolic. The flag's green field represents the country's lush forests and natural wealth, a color traditionally associated with the House of Braganza of Pedro I, Brazil's first Emperor. The yellow rhombus at the center symbolizes the gold reserves and mineral wealth, historically linked to the House of Habsburg of Pedro's wife, Empress Leopoldina. Within the yellow rhombus lies a blue globe depicting a starry sky that mirrors the Rio de Janeiro night sky on November 15, 1889, when Brazil was declared a republic.
Brazil’s flag originally had 21 white stars in the globe, representing each of Brazil's federative units or regions. Over the years, additional stars were added as more states were created within the country. The current flag, last updated in 1992, now has 27 stars. The banner across the blue globe bears the national motto, "Ordem e Progresso" ("Order and Progress"), a principle derived from the positivist philosophy of Auguste Comte.
