Country Flags
Rwanda
The broad blue upper half and golden sun distinguish the Rwanda flag. Yellow and green divide the lower half into two equal bands. The sun sits near the upper outer corner.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines turns the bands upright: blue beside the pole, a wider yellow center, then green. Three green diamonds make a V in the yellow area.
Solomon Islands
A narrow yellow diagonal divides the Solomon Islands flag into blue and green triangles. Follow it from the lower corner beside the pole to the upper outer corner. Five white stars form a group in the blue area.
Gabon
The flag of Gabon has three equal horizontal bands: green, yellow and blue from top to bottom.
Historical Flag
Sudan (1956–1970)

Sudan’s former national flag puts blue above yellow above green, reversing Gabon’s outer colors. This plain tricolor was used from independence in 1956 until 1970. Sudan’s current flag uses a different red, white, black and green design.
City and Regional Flags
Bandung
Bandung, Indonesia, also uses green above yellow above blue, but its middle band is narrower. The city’s 1953 design specifies:
- Band heights of 2:1:2.
- An overall length-to-height ratio of 7:5.
Bandung marked its 2014 anniversary by wrapping city-colored cloth around tree trunks.
Bełchatów
Bełchatów’s blue, yellow and green run in equal horizontal bands. The Polish city established these colors in 1997, in the same resolution that defined its coat of arms.
Chocó Department
Green takes up the upper half of Chocó’s flag. Yellow and blue each occupy a quarter below it, giving this Colombian department’s tricolor a different balance from Gabon’s equal bands.
Siemianowice Śląskie
Siemianowice Śląskie, another Polish city, uses a plain green–yellow–blue horizontal tricolor. Unlike Bełchatów, it places green at the top and blue at the bottom.
