The flag of Nicaragua

The colours

What the flag of Nicaragua 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.

• #0067c668% of the field
• #ffffff32% of the field

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