Facts about the flag of Mauritania
Date adopted: 1 April 1959
Symbolism: The green field represents Islam, the predominant religion in Mauritania. The gold star and crescent are also symbols of Islam, and the gold color represents the sands of the Sahara Desert.
- Pantone colours: Green, Gold
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Mauritania is typically hung with the green field vertical and the crescent and star centered, with the crescent opening upward and the star above it.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is to invert the crescent or star, or to confuse the crescent's orientation, which should open upwards rather than sideways or downwards.
