The colors of Andorra, initially just red and yellow, were established in 1866 with the addition of blue at the behest of Napoleon III to balance the joint Franco-Spanish power. The tricolor, used as the national flag and still in use today, has been used as the state emblem since 1939, although due to its similarity to other flags (Chad and Romania), it eventually replaced the former for national use. The coat of arms bears the arms of the Bishop of Urgel in the first quarter, the Counts of Foix in the second, Catalonia in the third, and the Counts of Béarn in the fourth. To address the erroneous variants in circulation, the colors and coat of arms were codified in 1999, bringing it to the version still in use today. 🇦🇩
