I get the colors are derived from the coat of arms, but even there idk if the blue makes sense. Green and gold to symbolize forest and agriculture is spot on (or “wealth of human thought and action" & "rich natural resources” sure) but IMO black to symbolize coal and oil is much stronger in a landlocked state than blue to symbolize marine trade.

As much as I hate that coal and oil are still being burned in the modern day, the majority of our economy can trace its roots to them.
