The colours
What the flag of DR Congo is made of
Counted off the file rather than read out of it. Every pixel of a 320-pixel rendering is sorted into a colour, so the share below is the share of the flag a person actually sees, and an emblem’s interior shades do not outrank a band covering a third of the field.
- #f7d61812% of the field
- #ce102119.9% of the field
- #007fff68.1% of the field
These are the colours the plates for DR Congo are drawn in. Nothing on this site takes a country’s colours from anywhere but its own flag.
