Colours
Read from the flag itself, down to the exact shade.

Other flags with red, blue or yellow or all of red, blue and yellow 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 vertical bands
The foot changes colour going along, the fly edge does not, and every change is a straight line top to bottom.
What we know about it
Adopted 1989 (tricolor from 1848)
Blue, yellow and red uniting the colors of Wallachia and Moldavia.
Nearly identical to Chad, the classic lookalike pair.

Its days
The almanac keeps a page per day of the year that something is dated to. This flag is on 2 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.
The Chad–Romania Problem
Flags people genuinely mix up. Worth a second look.
Quiz yourself
Ten questions, played on the page, no sign-up and nothing kept. Romania is one of the flags in each of these.
