The Constitution o Romanie[1] provides that “The flag o Romanie is tricolour; the colors are arranged vertically in the follaein order frae the flagpole: blue, yellae, red”. The proportions, shades o colour as well as the banner protocol wur established bi law in 1994[2] an extendit in 2001.[3]
The banner is coincidentally vera seemilar tae the ceevil Banner o Andorrae an the state Banner o Chad. The similarity wi Chad’s banner, which differs anerlie in haein a daurker shade o blue (indigo rather than cobalt), haes caused internaitional discussion. In 2004 Chad asked the Unitit Naitions tae examine the issue, but then-preses o Romanie Ion Iliescu annoonced nae chynge wad occur tae the banner.[4] The Banner o Moldova is relatit tae the Romanian tricolour, except it haes a 1:2 ratio, a lichter shade o blue an the Moldavian coat o airms in the middle.
