Interpretations of the colours of the flag
The flag represents the people of Armenia. The red stands for the split blood of all Armenian soldiers, present and past. The orange stands for the fertile land and the farmers that work on it. The blue stands for the sky.

Raffi Kazanjian, 27 June 1996

Here are different interpretations that I have found of the colors of the Armenian flag (pardon the missing sources) :
1) A rainbow over Mount Ararat.
2) Red is the blood shed and the whole is derived from the colours of the banners of the former kingdom of Cilicia. (I think this was in Crampton, 1990 [cra90]).
3) A simple description of the colours says : vermilion red, ultramarine blue and apricot orange.
4) A friend told me that he has heard : red : blood shed ; blue : eternal land of Armenia ; orange : courage.
5) Finally a source not to be neglected, the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Ottawa (although I find this one very awkward): red : the sun's energy; blue : the clear sky; orange : the wheat at harvest.
My opinion? I think they should just say : It's our national colors.

But note that 1) 2) 3) and 4) are not in contradiction :
1) gives the impression given by the flag as a whole.
2) explains the origins .
3) describes the colours precisely.
And 4) gives a meaning to each colour.
Now 5) is clearly in contradiction with 4), but also with 2).

Luc Baronian, 5 May 1997

Vermilion is a bright, light red with a slightly orangeish tinge, somewhere between the red of British red ensigns and the pale red of the Iranian flag. Ultramarine is "a blue that's stronger than the sea's blue". Of course, this depends on which sea you're talking about, but the colour is usually similar to the blue of the French flag.
