Hungary’s red-white-green national colours
Hungary’s flag consists of equal horizontal bands of red, white and green. The colours have roots in Hungarian heraldry and became a prominent national emblem during the nineteenth-century movement for national independence.
The ordinary national flag is a plain tricolour without a coat of arms. Various familiar explanations assign meanings such as strength, faithfulness and hope to the colours, but they are customary readings rather than one official code in the constitutional description.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
