Facts about the flag of Madagascar
Date adopted: 14 October 1958
Symbolism: The red and white colors represent the history of the Merina Kingdom, while the green represents the coastal regions and the desire for independence.
- Pantone colours: Green, White, Red
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Madagascar is typically hung with the vertical white band on the hoist side (left), and the two horizontal bands (red on top, green on bottom) to the right.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to confuse the order of the horizontal bands, sometimes reversing the red and green stripes.
