African Colors: Two Pan-African Palettes
Green, yellow and red take their order here from the Ethiopian flag’s three stripes. A second Pan-African tricolor comes from the movement led by Marcus Garvey.
On Ghana’s flag, Theodosia Okoh put red at the top and green at the bottom, with a black star in the gold band. The swatches above follow Ethiopia’s stripe order and give screen approximations of those three bands.
Red, black and green
The Universal Negro Improvement Association adopted red, black and green at its 1920 convention. Black occupies the middle stripe in this flag, where yellow sits in the Ethiopian tricolor.
