The colours of the flag are placed horizontally in the following order from the top: red, white and blue. Each colour covers one third of the flag width. The star has a regular five-pointed shape and a golden (yellow) border. The central point of the star corresponds with the point of intersection of the diagonals of the flag.

Quoting the the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, adopted on 22 February 1974:

Chapter I.
Article 6.
The coat of arms of the Socialist Republic of Croatia is field encircled with two golden bundles of grain spikes. In the lower part of the field is an iron anvil. Above it the main sea gently heaves. From the sea raise the historical Croatian arms and above them is the sun. In the lower part bundles of grain spikes are joined and interlaced, so their composition surrounds the base of the anvil. Between the top of the spikes is a five-pointed star with a golden lining, which has its lower branches directed to the field of the coat of arms.
