List of flags by color combination

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of flags of states, territories, former, and other geographic entities (plus a few non-geographic flags) sorted by their combinations of dominant colors. Flags emblazoned with seals, coats of arms, and other multicolored emblems are sorted only by their color fields. The color of text is almost entirely ignored.

Colors white and gold, related to the two metals of European heraldry (argent and or) are sorted first. The five major colors of European heraldry (black, red, green, blue, and purple) are sorted next. Miscellaneous colors (murrey, tan, grey, and pink) are sorted last.

Similar colors are grouped together to make navigation of this list practical. As such, the dark greens prevalent in the Middle East are sorted together with the brighter greens prevalent in Western Europe. Significantly, yellows, golds, and oranges are grouped together as "gold" due to the lack of discrete divisions within this spectrum and the differing standards of interpretation of "gold", which appears in the legally codified specifications of many flags. Some flags, including a number from South Asia, include both a distinct yellow and a distinct orange; these have been noted accordingly. Magenta is included with red.

How to use this list

Let’s say you want to identify a flag with field colors red, white, green, and in the center an emblem with some blue and yellow.
Arranging those colors to match the sorting order yields the following sequence: white, no gold, no black, red, green, no blue. Note that the emblem’s colors are not taken into account.

Now you can quickly navigate to the right place in the list: Within the section White, skip all subsections with Gold and Black, then skip the subsections “White, red” and “White, red, grey” to find the flag in the subsection “White, red, green”.

Alternatively, you can search for “white, red, green” within this page.
