The colours of the flag – blue, red, white, and yellow – represent the main colours of the national flags of all ten ASEAN member states.[3] Blue represents peace and stability, red represents courage and dynamism, white represents purity, and yellow represents prosperity.[3]
The stalks of rice represent the dream of ASEAN's Founding Fathers for an ASEAN comprising all the countries in Southeast Asia bound together in friendship and solidarity. The number of stalks symbolize ASEAN's ten members[4]
First Flag of ASEAN (7 January 1984 - 23 July 1994)
Second Flag of ASEAN (23 July 1994 - 31 May 1997)
ASEAN's first flag was similar to the current one - it had six paddy stalks representing the five founding members (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand), plus Brunei Darussalam (joined on 7 January 1984) and the word ASEAN written under the stalks. The background was white instead of blue, the border of the circle along with the word ASEAN was cyan, and the circle was bright yellow. The stalks themselves were golden brownish in colour.
