Blauw, de kleur van het nieuwe onafhankelijke Kazachstan, kent een veelgelaagde symboliek: de hemelse blauwe lucht, de heidense viering van de lente, de blauwe koepels van Islamitische moskee\u0026euml;n, de droom van de uitgestrektheid van de onbereikbare oceaan. De kleur blauw overtuigde de meerderheid en trad het massabewustzijn binnen als de beste kleur, de \u0026#39;juiste\u0026#39; kleur.
