yellow with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant
the flag of the UK bears five yellow five-pointed stars - a large star on a blue disk in the center and a smaller star on each arm of the bold red cross
the larger star stands for Niue, the smaller stars recall the Southern Cross constellation on the New Zealand flag and symbolize links with that country
yellow represents the bright sunshine of Niue and the warmth and friendship between Niue and New Zealand
