Colours
Read from the flag itself, down to the exact shade.
- #ffffff
- #d7141a
- #11457e
Other flags with red, white or blue or all of red, white and blue at once.
How it is put together
Measured off the picture, the same way the colours were, not from anybody's description of it.
- 2 horizontal bands
The fly edge changes colour going down, the foot does not, and every change is a straight line right across.
- a triangle at the pole
A wedge whose base is the whole pole edge, widest halfway down, in a colour the fly side is not painted in.
What we know about it
Adopted 1920; retained after the 1993 split
Bohemia's white over red with a blue hoist triangle added to differ from Poland.
Slovakia agreed neither successor would keep it. The Czechs did anyway.

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.
Pan-Slavic Tricolors
Flags people genuinely mix up. Worth a second look.
Quiz yourself
Ten questions, played on the page, no sign-up and nothing kept. Czechia is one of the flags in each of these.
