The Flag of the Nordic Council is blue (PMS 300 U), with a stylised circular motif of a whiteswan. The swan symbol was chosen to represent the Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers in 1984. The Nordic swan symbolises trust, integrity and freedom.[1] It is also designed to symbolise wider Nordic cooperation.
