Colorado State Tartan


The Colorado State Tartan is the Scottish tartan pattern officially adopted by the U.S. State of Colorado to represent the state in various functions and occasions.

The Colorado General Assembly adopted House Joint Resolution 97-1016 on 3 March 1997, designating an official Colorado State Tartan. The tartan is a pattern and colors that symbolize Colorado's splendor and history. The pattern or sett consists of primary blocks of forest green and cerulean blue separated by broad dividing bands of black, with the forest green checks containing two pairs of tram tracks consisting of lavender and white and with the cerulean blue checks containing a gold stripe with red guard lines. The official state tartan is a Celtic district tartan that may be worn by any resident or friend of Colorado whether or not of Celtic heritage.
