The colours

What the flag of Zimbabwe 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.

#ffffff13.9% of the field
#00640027% of the field
#ffd20025% of the field
#00000011.4% of the field
#d4000022.8% of the field

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