Facts about the flag of Kenya
Date adopted: 12 December 1963
Symbolism: The flag of Kenya features three major colors: black, red, and green. Black represents the people of Kenya, red symbolizes the blood shed during the fight for independence, and green stands for the country's natural wealth. The white fimbriation symbolizes peace. The central emblem is a Maasai shield and spears, symbolizing the defense of freedom.
- Pantone colours: Pantone 349 C, White, Pantone 186 C, Black, Pantone 123 C
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Kenya is typically hung horizontally with the black stripe on top, red in the middle, and green at the bottom, separated by thin white stripes. The Maasai shield and spears are centered and upright.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is reversing the flag vertically or horizontally, which misplaces the shield and spears, or omitting the white fimbriations that separate the stripes.
