Facts about the flag of Guinea-Bissau
Date adopted: 24 September 1973
Symbolism: The flag features the Pan-African colors: red symbolizes the struggle for independence, yellow represents the sun, green stands for the country's lush vegetation, and the black star represents African unity.
- Pantone colours: Red, Yellow, Green, Black
- Aspect ratio: 1 : 2
- Hanging protocol: The flag is typically hung with the red vertical stripe at the hoist side (left), and the horizontal stripes of yellow and green from top to bottom, with the black star centered in the red stripe.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to confuse the flag's colors or orientation with those of other Pan-African flags, or to misplace the black star outside the red stripe.
