Facts about the flag of Belgium
Date adopted: 23 January 1831
Symbolism: The black, yellow, and red stripes are inspired by the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant, symbolizing strength, wealth, and courage.
- Pantone colours: Black, Yellow, Red
- Aspect ratio: 13 : 15
- Hanging protocol: The Belgian flag is typically hung vertically with the black stripe on the hoist side (left), followed by yellow in the middle, and red on the fly side (right).
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the Belgian flag with the German flag, which has horizontal stripes of black, red, and gold.
