Flag comparisons
Romania’s blue-yellow-red tricolour
Romania's flag has three equal vertical bands, blue at the hoist, followed by yellow and red. The colours became national symbols during the nineteenth century and are also prominent in the heraldry of Romania's historic regions.
Romania and Moldova share a closely related tricolour design. Romania's national flag has no coat of arms in its ordinary form; Moldova's flag places its state arms in the centre. Romania's flag law defines the design, while the coat of arms makes Moldova's version visually distinct.

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.
