Pitcairn Islands Which countries have blue, white and green flags?
Sierra Leone is a horizontal tricolor of green, white and blue, from top to bottom. The green stands for agriculture and mountains, white for unity and justice, and blue for the natural harbor at Freetown. Lesotho has three horizontal bands in blue, white and green, with a traditional Basotho hat, the mokorotlo, in the white stripe. Blue is linked to sky and rain, white to peace and green to the land.
Other flags with these colors add more. Uzbekistan has blue, white and green stripes separated by thin red lines, with a white crescent and twelve stars at the top left. Gambia has red, blue and green bands separated by white lines, with the blue band standing for the river. The British Virgin Islands, Pitcairn Islands and the Seychelles carry green and blue in different designs. Equatorial Guinea, Comoros, the Central African Republic and South Africa also contain all three colors.
Why are blue, white and green flags uncommon?
Blue and green rarely sit side by side without a third color. Among the flags here, Sierra Leone and Lesotho are the only ones that use just blue, white and green, and both put white between the two.
When both appear, blue usually refers to water, such as the sea, a river or a lake, and green refers to farmland, forests or Islam. Both Lesotho and Sierra Leone use them in a straightforward way: sky or sea, plus land. White often means peace, which is why it appears in the middle of both flags.
How can you tell these flags apart?
Sierra Leone runs green, white, blue from top to bottom, and Lesotho runs blue, white, green. They are close to mirror images, so check the top stripe. If you see a crescent and stars, it is Uzbekistan. Red, blue and green stripes separated by white lines mean Gambia. Use the grid above to compare them.
