Bosnia and Herzegovina has a deep blue field with a yellow right-angled triangle and a diagonal line of white stars. The triangle represents the country's shape and the three peoples, and the stars reflect Europe. The blue and yellow colors are close to those of the European Union flag, which the design echoes. The Caribbean Netherlands also appears in our data, although officially it uses the Dutch flag.
Plenty of flags include all three colors with extra colors. Malaysia has red and white stripes with a blue canton, yellow crescent and star. Kiribati shows a golden frigatebird flying over a rising sun and blue and white waves on a red field. Niue is yellow with a Union Jack canton holding a blue disc with five yellow stars. Seychelles uses blue, yellow, red, white and green rays. The Turks and Caicos Islands, Eswatini, Comoros, the Central African Republic, South Africa, Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Barthélemy also contain all three.
Why do blue and yellow go together on flags?
Blue and yellow contrast strongly, and on flags they often stand for sea or sky and for sun, sand or gold.
In Europe, the blue and yellow of the European Union flag is echoed by the design of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Island nations in the Pacific and Caribbean often use blue for the ocean and yellow for the sun.
How can you tell these flags apart?
Bosnia and Herzegovina is easy to spot because of its yellow triangle and diagonal row of stars. Flags with a Union Jack in the corner and yellow elsewhere, such as Niue and the Turks and Caicos Islands, are former British territories. Malaysia has stripes, Kiribati has a bird and a sun, and Seychelles has rays. Use the grid above to compare them.
