The rainbow flag design was adopted during October 1996.[1]
The flag consists of a rainbow on a white background, with seven narrow horizontal colored stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, blue and purple. The flag's aspect ratio is 2:3.
The seven colored stripes are centered vertically and regularly spaced; they have a height each equal to 1/40 of the total flag's height, and are separated by a thin spacing equal to 1/120 of the total flag's height. [2]
The seven colours symbolise the branches of a menorah. The Oblast's website states that, "the horizontal axis is located a color strip symbolizing a rainbow."
