The flag of Espírito Santo is the official flag of the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. The current flag was designed in 1908 and officially adopted on 24 April 1947 through Decree 16.618 of the state of Espírito Santo. Like the state's coat of arms, the flag of Espírito Santo is rare in its use of the colour pink outside of any graphic in a coat of arms or a symbol. The coat of arms is also primarily pink and blue.
