The colours

What the flag of Eritrea 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鈥檚 interior shades do not outrank a band covering a third of the field.

  • #ffc72c4.3% of the field
  • #e4002b44.4% of the field
  • #43b02a25.7% of the field
  • #418fde25.7% of the field

These are the colours the plates for Eritrea are drawn in. Nothing on this site takes a country鈥檚 colours from anywhere but its own flag.
