The colours

What the flag of Mozambique 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.

  • #d2103417.7% of the field
  • #fce10029% of the field
  • #00716827.7% of the field
  • #ffffff4.6% of the field
  • #00000021% of the field

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