Denmark vs Finland flag

How to tell them apart

The flags of Denmark and Finland are both Nordic crosses, with the upright set towards the hoist, so they’re easy to mix up at a glance. This is what gives each one away:

  1. Denmark is a white cross on red; Finland is a blue cross on white.
  2. There is no red anywhere on Finland's flag.
