Italian state ceremonial guidance publishes Pantone references for the Tricolore: 17-6153 green, 11-0601 white and 18-1662 red. These are the best reference for physical reproduction.
Italy flag HEX and RGB values

Article 12 names the three colors but does not assign each one a separate symbolic meaning. Historically, white and red came from Milanese civic heraldry, while green was associated with Milan’s Civic Guard and revolutionary military standards.
How to reproduce the Italian flag accurately
Use the published Pantone references for physical production. For websites and graphics, use digital approximations consistently and keep the three vertical fields exactly equal.
Ordinary state ceremonial sizes such as 300 × 200 cm and 150 × 100 cm correspond to a 2:3 format.
