Facts about the flag of Samoa
Date adopted: 24 February 1949
Symbolism: The flag features the Southern Cross constellation, symbolizing Samoa's location in the Southern Hemisphere. The blue represents freedom, while the red stands for courage.
- Pantone colours: Blue, Red, White
- Aspect ratio: 1 : 2
- Hanging protocol: The flag of Samoa is typically hung with the red field as the background and the blue canton with the Southern Cross stars in the upper hoist-side corner.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the flag with that of Australia or New Zealand due to the similar Southern Cross constellation, but Samoa's stars are white and fewer in number, and the background is predominantly red.
