Flag adopted 18th November 1977, coat-of-arms adopted 7th July 1978

Description
I made the flag image comparing the shades and star positions in several sources, among them Shipmate's Flagchart, Album des Pavillons 1990 and Smith 1982. They all agree that the shade of green is a rather dark one. Blue is problem of its own, so I left one that I believe is acceptable until we get better information. Yellow is odd, some sources show it as regular yellow (Y), in other sources as dark yellow (Y+). I left the darker one as it seems to me that it gives better colour balance. I estimate that the diagonal stripe's width is 1/10th of the hoist. This flag is used as civil, state and war flag on land.

Zeljko Heimer, 20 May 2000

From Devereux 1998:

The result of official discussion and a design competition, the flag of the Solomons Islands was created in 1977 and adopted in the following year. The five five-pointed stars on the background of blue represent the archipelagian nation's five administrative units, surrounded by the Pacific (and not, as is sometimes claimed, its main islands, for of these there are six). The green is for vegetal lushness and the yellow is for sunshine.
Dorling-Kindersley 1999 [1997?] has:
The national flag, adopted in 1977, is divided diagonally by a stripe of yellow representing the sunshine of the islands. The two triangles formed by the diagonal stripe are blue and green, signifying water and the land. The five stars were initially incorporated to represent the country's five districts. The islands were later divided into seven districts and the symbolism of the stars was modified to refer to the five main groups of islands.
Symbolism of flags is usually quite subjective — this may be a good example.
