Colours
Read from the flag itself, down to the exact shade.
- #e05206
- #0db02b
- #ffffff
Other flags with white, green or orange or all of white, green and orange at once.
How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 3 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
- a disc
A single round device near the middle, as wide as it is tall, filling its box the way a circle does.
What we know about it
Niger has flown this flag since 1959, the year before independence: the Territorial Assembly adopted it on 23 November, shortly before the Republic was proclaimed within the French Community that December, and the design dates from 1958. It has survived every constitution since, unchanged, through to the one adopted in 2010. Common interpretations read the disc in the centre band as the sun, though official sources have never confirmed what any of it stands for.
Drafted from Flag of Niger on Wikipedia, as it read on 2026-08-26, and checked back against it: every date, name and number above appears in the sentences it was written from. Nobody here wrote it by hand.
Its day
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on one of them, with the sentence that says so.
Nearest in the world
Every flag is compared with every other one, off the pictures themselves. Two copies of one picture score 0; these are the closest to this one. How that is measured.
Quiz yourself
Ten questions, played on the page, no sign-up and nothing kept. Niger is one of the flags in each of these.
