Facts about the flag of Gabon
Date adopted: 9 August 1960
Symbolism: The green stripe represents the country's forests, the yellow stripe symbolizes the Equator and the sun, and the blue stripe stands for the Atlantic Ocean.
- Pantone colours: Green, Yellow, Blue
- Aspect ratio: 3 : 4
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Gabon is typically hung horizontally with three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow (middle), and blue (bottom).
