The colors of Tennessee are represented by the flag of the State of Tennessee. The primary colors of the flag are red (crimson) and blue. The Tennessee State Flag was designed by Captain LeRoy Reeves of the Third Regiment, Tennessee Infantry and adopted by the State legislature in 1905. Captain Reeves described the design of the flag as follows:

"The three stars are of pure white, representing the three grand divisions of the state. They are bound together by the endless circle of the blue field the symbol being three bound together in one - an indissoluble trinity The large field is crimson. The final blue bar relieves the sameness of the crimson field and prevents the flag from showing too much creation when hanging limp. The white edgings contrast more strongly the other colors."

The blue represents loyalty to the State of Tennessee, common among the three grand divisions. The red represents the blood shed by volunteers when called upon to fight in defense of their state or their nation.
