Countries with Green, White & Red Flags 2026

Three equal vertical bands of green (hoist), white, and red. Inspired by the French Tricolore, it was first adopted in 1797 during Napoleon's Italian campaigns and became the flag of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1861. The plain tricolour (no emblem) was confirmed by the 1948 republican constitution. Green represents the plains and hills, white the snow-capped Alps, and red the blood shed in the Wars of Independence — though these interpretations are retrospective.

Three equal horizontal bands of green (top), white, and red, with the national emblem centred on the white band. Along the inner edges run the Takbīr ('Allahu Akbar') in white Kufic script, repeated 22 times to mark 22 Bahman (11 February 1979), the date of the Islamic Revolution. The emblem is a stylised calligraphic rendering of 'Allah' resembling a tulip — a traditional symbol of martyrdom in Iranian culture.

Three equal vertical bands of green (hoist), white, and red, with the Mexican coat of arms on the white band — an eagle on a cactus devouring a serpent, rooted in Aztec mythology. The arms introduce natural tones beyond the tricolour, but the dominant palette and overall design are firmly green, white, and red. The colours date to the War of Independence (1810–1821): green for hope, white for religion, and red for the union of Mexicans and Spaniards.

Three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and green. Hungary's tricolour dates to the 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule. The colours derive from the historic royal coat of arms: red and white from the Árpád stripes, green from the hills of the nation's landscape. The plain tricolour has been the civil flag since 1957 and was confirmed as the state flag after 1989.

Two horizontal bands — red (top, two-thirds) and green (bottom, one-third) — with a vertical white band at the hoist bearing a traditional rushnyk (embroidery) pattern in red. The palette is strictly red, green, and white. Adopted in 1995 after a referendum partially restoring the Soviet-era design; the ornamental stripe distinguishes it from its Soviet predecessor.

Two equal vertical bands of green (hoist) and white, with a red crescent moon and five-pointed red star centred at the dividing line. The palette is exactly green, white, and red. Adopted in 1962 upon independence from France; the green and white are traditional colours of Islam, while the red crescent and star symbol has roots in the Ottoman era.

Three equal horizontal bands of white (top), green, and red, with a broad vertical red stripe at the hoist bearing the white national emblem — a khanjar (curved dagger) in its sheath over two crossed swords. Every element is red, white, or green. Adopted in its current form in 1995, the colours are the traditional colours of the Sultanate of Oman.

Three equal horizontal bands of white (top), green, and red. Bulgaria adopted its tricolour in 1878, modelled on the Russian flag but substituting green for blue. Green represents freedom and forests, white represents peace, and red represents the courage of the homeland's defenders. Note: the state flag adds a coat of arms introducing gold, which disqualifies it; the plain civil tricolour qualifies here.

A red field bearing a large green rectangle, on which a white crescent opens toward the fly. The palette is exactly red, green, and white. Adopted in 1965 upon independence from Britain; red represents the boldness of the nation's heroes, green represents peace and prosperity, and the white crescent symbolises the Islamic faith of the country.
