Belize Flag Colors & Dimensions: Pantone, Ratio and Measurements

Official Belize flag colors
Schedule I of the National Symbols Act 2025 specifies Pantone 2738 C for royal blue and Pantone 485 C for red.
Official flag dimensions
The flag is legally designed in a 3:5 proportion. The official handbook illustrates the standard 3 × 5-foot civilian outdoor flag at 36 × 60 inches.
| Overall size example | 36 × 60 in |
|---|---|
| Top red border | 3.6 in |
| Blue center height | 28.8 in |
| Bottom red border | 3.6 in |
| White circle diameter | 21 in |
How large is the white circle?
On the official 3 × 5-foot example, the central white circle is 21 inches in diameter. The standardized coat of arms is centered within that disc.
Why should there be no white strip at the hoist?
The 2025 official guidelines explicitly say the white portion sometimes seen along the hoist is not part of the standard Belize flag design. Eyelets should attach directly to the blue and red fabric.
Digital and print reproduction
NICH provides official standardized files for digital use. For physical production, the official Pantone references should take priority over arbitrary HEX conversions. The coat of arms must also retain its standardized proportions and colors.
