The flag of Madrid represents the city's coat of arms centred on a crimson field.[2] The city's flag is made either in the proportions 2:3, and in shades of crimson corresponding to Pantone 207 or 208.
The significance of the bear leaning against a madroño (strawberry tree), is unknown; however, the tree is native to Madrid Comunity. One known theory is that bear and tree represent a farming rights dispute between the clergy and citizens. The seven stars supposedly represent the seven stars in the Starry Plough constellation closest to the Ursa Major (Great Bear) Constellation.
