Facts about the flag of Cameroon
Date adopted: 20 May 1975
Symbolism: The green represents the lush vegetation of the southern part of the country, the red stands for independence, and the yellow symbolizes the sun and the savannahs in the north. The star represents unity.
- Pantone colours: Green, Red, Yellow
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Cameroon is typically hung vertically with the green stripe on the left, followed by red in the center with the yellow star, and yellow on the right.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is reversing the order of the stripes or placing the star incorrectly, as the star should be centered in the red stripe.
