Flags with orange

21 of the world's 194 national flags contain orange, listed below from the most orange-heavy flag to the least. Percentages are measured from a pixel-accurate scan of each flag. Orange is rare on national flags. Where it appears — India, Ireland, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire — it usually stands for courage, the land, or a specific faith community.

Turn this into practice: the flag pie chart game asks you to name the country from its colour breakdown alone, or try Guess the Flag.
