Colombia flag colors
The yellow band is as deep as the blue and red together, so it takes exactly half the flag while they split the rest. Colombia shares its three colours with Ecuador and Venezuela, all three descending from Gran Colombia, and the unequal banding is what tells them apart at a glance.
