The Honduras flag consits of three even horizontal stripes, two blue stripes on the outside and a white stripe down the middle.  Located in the white stripe is five small blue stars.  The blue stripes represent the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The five stars represent the five nations of the United States of Central America (Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Guatemala) and the hope that the nations may form a union again.

The white stripe is probably not representative of anything.   It is simply a back plain on which the blue stripes and stars can be places.  I guess you could say it represents detail since without it the flag would just be solid blue.
