Facts about the flag of New Zealand
Date adopted: 24 March 1902
Symbolism: The flag features the Union Jack, representing New Zealand's colonial ties to Britain, and the Southern Cross constellation, symbolizing the country's location in the South Pacific.
- Pantone colours: Pantone 280 C, White, Pantone 186 C
- Aspect ratio: 1 : 2
- Hanging protocol: The New Zealand flag is typically hung with the Union Jack in the upper hoist-side corner (top-left) and the Southern Cross stars on the fly side. When displayed vertically, the Union Jack should be at the top left corner from the viewer's perspective.
- Design pitfall: Common confusion arises between the New Zealand flag and the Australian flag, as both feature the Union Jack and the Southern Cross, but the New Zealand flag has four red stars with white borders, while the Australian flag has six white stars of varying sizes.
