    How to identify it

    Three plain vertical bands of red, yellow and green. Mali uses the same colours in reverse order, with green next to the flagpole.

    Design and construction

    Adoption and legal status
    Guinea adopted the red-yellow-green vertical tricolour in November 1958 after independence.

    History of the design

    The colour order is the reverse of Mali’s and reflects an early West African use of the Pan-African palette after Ghana.
