Facts about the flag of Mexico
Date adopted: 16 September 1968
Symbolism: The green stripe represents hope, the white stripe represents purity and unity, and the red stripe represents the blood of those who fought for Mexico's independence. The coat of arms in the center features an eagle holding a serpent in its beak and talon, perched on a prickly pear cactus, symbolizing the Aztec heritage.
- Pantone colours: Green, White, Red
- Aspect ratio: 4 : 7
- Hanging protocol: The Mexican flag is typically hung vertically with the green stripe on the left, white in the middle, and red on the right, with the national coat of arms centered on the white stripe.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is displaying the flag with the red and green stripes reversed or omitting the coat of arms in the center white stripe.
