What the source says
Referenced, awaiting primary-source reviewAdopted March 1 [1967] when Saint Lucia became an Associated State. The blue epitomises the sky and the sea, specifically the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea; the black and white allude to the harmonious relationship between the black and white races; the yellow symbolises the sunshine, as well as prosperity. The triangles represent the Pitons [...] a national symbol of Saint Lucia.
