Gabon flag coloring page

Gabon's flag has three horizontal bands of green, yellow and blue, with the yellow stripe in the middle. It was adopted in 1960, the year of independence, replacing a colonial flag that had the French tricolour in the corner. The new design dropped the tricolour and widened the yellow stripe.

About the flag of Gabon

What it means: Yellow stands for the Equator, which crosses Gabon, and for the sun. Green represents the country's forests and natural resources, and blue the South Atlantic coast.

Did you know? The yellow stripe recalls the Equator, which runs right across Gabon.
