The red-white-blue colors of the flag were enthused by the flag of grand Russia, which was an adversary of Austria-Hungary and henceforth a potential Croatian ally. Though Croatians were powerless to establish their independence at that time, the flag continued a symbol of ambitions for the future.
The flag syndicates the colors of the flags of the Kingdom of Croatia (red and white), the Kingdom of Slavonia (blue and white) and partly of the Kingdom of Dalmatia (blue and yellow). Those three kingdoms are the important constituent states of the Croatian Kingdom.
