Dominica Flag Colors: Meaning, Purple & HEX Guide
Understand Dominica’s forest green, yellow, black, white, red and purple flag colors, their official symbolism and practical digital color references.
What colors are on the Dominica flag?
The official description uses forest green, yellow, black, white, red and the natural colors of the Sisserou parrot. Government symbolism explains the green field, three cross stripes and red center individually.
Why is purple on the Dominica flag?
The purple comes from the Sisserou parrot rather than from a separate geometric band. The Office of the President’s protocol specifically states that the breast of the bird is purple.
This makes Dominica one of the uncommon national flags that visibly includes purple in its official imagery.
Practical HEX and RGB color guide
Dominica’s official protocol describes the colors but does not publish a Pantone table on the government pages consulted. For digital work, a commonly used reference set is:
#009A44 · RGB 0,154,68#FFCD00 · RGB 255,205,0#E4002B · RGB 228,0,43#981E97 · RGB 152,30,151#000000 · RGB 0,0,0#FFFFFF · RGB 255,255,255How to reproduce the flag accurately
For authoritative reproduction, prioritize the government description: forest-green field; yellow, black and white equal-width cross stripes; red circular center; ten lime-green stars; and a naturally colored Sisserou parrot with a purple breast.
