Facts about the flag of Macau
Date adopted: 20 December 1999
Symbolism: The flag features a lotus flower, symbolizing purity and Macau's identity. The bridge and water represent Macau's connection to the sea and its role as a bridge between cultures. The five stars reflect the relationship with China.
- Pantone colours: Pantone 347 C, White, Pantone 123 C
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Macau is typically hung with the green field as the background, the lotus flower and bridge emblem centered and upright, with the five stars above the lotus arranged in an arc.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the orientation of the lotus flower and stars, or misplacing the stars' arc above the lotus, which can distort the symbolic meaning.
