Facts about the flag of Cyprus
Date adopted: 16 August 1960
Designer: İsmet Güney
Symbolism: The flag features a map of the island of Cyprus in copper-orange, symbolizing the large deposits of copper on the island, above two olive branches on a white field, representing peace between the Greek and Turkish communities.
- Pantone colours: Copper, White, Green
- Aspect ratio: 3 : 5
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Cyprus is typically hung with the copper-orange silhouette of the island above two green olive branches on a white field, with the flag oriented so that the island is upright and the olive branches are below it.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the copper-orange color of the island with red or brown, or misorienting the flag so the island appears upside down or the olive branches are above the island.
