Nyeri County adopted a new flag on 29 June 2020.  The flag comprises three horizontal stripes of light blue, green and brown, fimbriated in white, with the county arms in the centre in a white disc. The symbolism is as follows:

Blue represents the sky, green the environment and brown the Gikuyu colour of clothing.  The white stripes represent peace.  The flag can be seen here and replaces the flag shown below.
