Facts about the flag of El Salvador
Date adopted: 27 May 1912
Symbolism: The blue stripes represent the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, while the white stripe symbolizes peace. The coat of arms features a triangle with symbols of liberty, peace, and the five original member states of the United Provinces of Central America.
- Pantone colours: Blue, White, Gold, Green
- Aspect ratio: 189 : 335
- Hanging protocol: The flag of El Salvador is typically hung with the blue stripes horizontal and the white stripe in the middle, with the coat of arms centered on the white stripe. When displayed vertically, the stripes remain in the same order (blue-white-blue) from left to right, with the coat of arms centered.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is omitting the coat of arms in the center white stripe, which is essential for the official national flag; using the plain blue-white-blue triband without the coat of arms is incorrect for official purposes.
