The official South Australian colours of marine blue and rhodochrosite form the bicolour, separated by a deep gold stripe, which is also an official colour of South Australia. In the fly appears a stylised version of the existing State Badge - the Piping Shrike or White Backed Magpie - with wings outstretched. The red field symbolises South Australia's red outback deserts and marine blue the cool of the Southern Ocean. The southern cross at the hoist represents South Australia's status as an Australian state.

Black and red have been informally adopted as the colours of representative sporting teams from South Australia.
