Facts about the flag of Gambia
Date adopted: 18 February 1965
Designer: Louis Thomasi
Symbolism: The red stripe represents the sun, the blue stripe represents the Gambia River, and the green stripe represents the land. The white stripes symbolize peace.
- Pantone colours: Red, Blue, White, Green
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Gambia is typically hung with the red stripe on top, followed by the blue stripe with white borders in the middle, and the green stripe at the bottom.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to confuse the order of the stripes or to omit the thin white stripes separating the blue from the red and green.
