The flag of Kuwait

The colours

What the flag of Kuwait 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.

• #00000016.7% of the field
• #007a3d29.3% of the field
• #ce112629.3% of the field
• #ffffff24.7% of the field

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

The flags Kuwait flew before

Every flag on record with a start and an end date, oldest first. A flag change is a constitutional event and the dates are the point: the years below are the years each design was the flag, not the years anybody designed it.
