Before adopting its own flag, Cayman Islands used the British flag. There are two versions of the Cayman Island flag namely the blue colour and red color versions. The blue color is used on the land while the red one is used at the sea. The flag was officially adopted in 1958 and is used for all administrative and official functions.
