What do the colors on the Barcelona flag mean?
there are different theories about the origin of the flag, the most romantic one says that about 800 - 900 aC, the count of Barcelona, who fought on the side of the French king was deadly wounded. In compensation for that, the French king gave him a coat of arms, that was the four fingers stained in the blood of the wound, printed on the golden shield of the count of Barcelona.. So i suppose the red represents blood, and yellow the gold :P

What does the Mississippi flag look like?
States displaying the Stars and the bars are symbolic of the old Civil War South and are sometimes viewed as a slap in the face and as an insult to modern thought, The states that endorsed slavery, left the Union, and continue to brandish such old school symbolism do so knowing that some abhor such symbolism.
Converesely other promote their display as a matter of southern heritage and pride. At some distant time the Nation may heal the wounds of Civil War, Reconstruction excesses aimed at punishment instead of healing and truly come together as a united people. Southern industry and a global outlook continue to blot-out or at least blur the troubles of the past.
For example the Georgia Flag of 1956 to 2001 gave way to a more modern and less flagrant use of the stars and the bars for a more styelised flag. It reverted to a more provactive Stars and Bars design under voter pressure.
Democracy in action.
Ever changing.

The current Russian flag, the tricolour of white, blue and red equal sized horizontal bands, has been in use since December 1993, after the collapse of the USSR.
Prior to that, it was used as the Russian flag from about 1883 until the October Revolution in 1917.
The flag existed earlier than that and was used for different purposes, but it was never officially recognised as the Russian flag until 1883.
The flag has undergone slight dimensional changes over the years, but to all intents and purposes, it is virtually the same flag.
