15 country flags and their hidden meanings you can't un-see

Have you ever stopped to think about why there are so many countries that use red, blue, and white? Why are vertical and horizontal stripes used? Or why flags of African countries use a lot of black? Maybe not, but you’re about find out some interesting flag facts that will change all that.

This topic fascinates me, not only as a traveller but also as a designer. When designing I need to be aware of the colours I use. I need to ask questions like, what emotions does this colour evoke? Does it’s meaning translate into other cultures? For example, in China, Korea, and some other Asian countries, white is the colour of mourning and funerals, whereas in Western culture black is used. As a side note, the custom of wearing black clothing for mourning dates back to the Roman Empire, when the toga pulla, made of dark-coloured wool, was worn during periods of mourning. To further complicate things, when used in flags, colours take on a different meaning. For example, a yellow flag is a symbol of generosity and a white flag is a symbol of peace and honesty.
