How to Draw the Saint Kitts and Nevis Flag: 3:2 Ratio, Diagonal Band, Stars & Pantone Colors
Use the official 3:2 proportion, diagonal layout, two white stars and published Pantone references to reproduce the Saint Kitts and Nevis flag accurately.
Start with the official 3:2 ratio
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives the flag proportion as 3:2 for flags flown on land and at sea. A convenient drawing size is 900 × 600 pixels or 1500 × 1000 pixels.
The government also lists a common standard physical size of 3 × 5 feet, which uses the same length-to-height relationship.
Divide the field diagonally
The flag is split diagonally from the lower hoist toward the upper fly. The upper area is green and the lower area is red.
A broad black diagonal band runs between the two fields, edged on both sides by narrow yellow borders.
Draw the black band and yellow borders
Keep the black band centered along the diagonal axis. Add a narrow yellow strip on each side so the black band is clearly separated from both the green and red fields.
Add the two white stars
Place two white five-pointed stars on the black band. They follow the diagonal direction of the band and should be spaced evenly.
The official symbolic meaning of the stars is hope and liberty.
