Sri Lanka flag colors
Sri Lanka publishes its flag as a national standard, SLS 1: 2020, with a Pantone textile reference, a CMYK build and a hex for each colour. The teal and orange stripes stand for the Tamil and Muslim communities, which makes this one of the few flags where a colour is documented as representing a specific group of people.
