Tell them apart
Romania vs Chad flag
How to tell them apart
The flags of Romania and Chad are both vertical tricolours of blue, yellow and red, so they’re easy to mix up at a glance. This is what gives each one away:
- Chad's blue is a darker indigo; Romania's is a lighter cobalt blue.
- Otherwise they are nearly identical: three equal vertical bands of blue, yellow and red, in a 2:3 ratio.
- Neither has an emblem, so side by side the darker blue is the only reliable tell.
Test yourself
Drill Romania, Chad, Moldova and Andorra: each flag once, in random order. Place it on the map, then name it.
