The colours

What the flag of Jamaica 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.

  • #ffb81c33.7% of the field
  • #00774933.2% of the field
  • #00000033.2% of the field

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