The flag of Syria

The colours

What the flag of Syria 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.

• #007a3d33.6% of the field
• #ffffff28.9% of the field
• #ce11263.8% of the field
• #00000033.8% of the field

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